Ooops - I mangled up some of the text and it ended up on the cutting floor.

Specifically you add a "-gsl" flag at the genmake2 level and then you can
control which exceptions to mask by using the environment variable
GSL_IEEE_MODE as explained below:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Setting-up-your-IEEE-environment.html
This is entirely portable. Depending on the platform, if libgsl.* etc. are not 
installed in the standard include and library tree (/usr/include,/usr/lib  
or /usr/lib64 etc.) you will need to set GSLINC and GSLLIB to their 
directories respectively.
