make check failed

[Josef Leydold]

Hi,

I have compiled gsl-1.4 using

./configure --prefix=/myhome
make
make check

but the many of the tests in eigen failed.
I run Linux 2.40.20-20.7 (Redhat 7.3)
gcc 2.96
It dont know whether this is considered a bug or whether this is just
due to the Redhat version of the gcc.
