Thanks for the bug report.
I will change the documentation to say GSL_EINVAL.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was not aware that the GNU/kFreeBSD port was an
officially supported architecture -- so severity 'important' is inflated, no?

Either way, the patch looks straighforwaed indeed and I am CCing Brian Gough
as a heads-up.  It is of course up to the GSL team to decide whether they
apply it upstream or not, but I think I'll make a new release for Debian
later today.


Thank you, I  have made the change below which should cover this and any 
other cases.
