On my ARM processors (32 bit and 64 bit) I had to build GSL from source
in order for the build process to complete without any GSL errors in my
build log file - I was using my own build script.

I don't remember if the lack of GSL was preventing the build to complete
- or preventing the build of gr-fec - but at the time the Debian
versions of GSL weren't working.
