Title:
  GSL polynomial tests are failing

Status in gsl package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ---Problem Description---
  GSL polynomial tests are failing
    
  ---uname output---
  Linux lep8d 3.19.0-10-generic #10-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 23 16:18:35 UTC 2015 
ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
   
  Machine Type = P8 
    
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
  Install a P8 Non Virtualized machine with Ubuntu 15.04 ISO.
  Then install the GNU Scientific Library sources on the same.

  I don't see this happening on Launchpad:
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/191125448/buildlog_ubuntu-vivid-
  ppc64el.gsl_1.16%2Bdfsg-2build1_UPLOADING.txt.gz

  What happens if you use the same source code provided by Canonical and
  the configure flags used by them?

  There are many tests being not executed if we build how Canonical has
  build gsl.

  The below mentioned tests are getting executed the way we build :
  (./configure; make and make check ) 

  gsl-1.16/linalg
  gsl-1.16/eigen
  gsl-1.16/specfunc
  gsl-1.16/dht
  gsl-1.16/qrng
  gsl-1.16/rng
  gsl-1.16/randist
  gsl-1.16/fft
  gsl-1.16/poly

  Don't know why Canonical is not executing these tests which should
  have been.

  Looks like a known bug in gsl 1.16

  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40176

  Cloned the latest gsl code from git repo (  git clone 
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gsl.git )
  and make check passes on poly directory..
  Please verify.

  I have executed the tests again on my system with the latest git tree
  source of gsl.

  Can we request Ubuntu to incorporate the latest version of the gsl
  source from the git tree provided ==> git clone
  git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gsl.git

  So that this new sources can be incorporated and all failures will get
  fixed.
