Subject: FTBFS (alpha): -mieee kludge in debian/rules broken

Package: gsl
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

gsl 1.7-3 does not build on Alpha:

[...]
mv libtool-2 libtool
chmod 755 libtool
touch configure-stamp
dh_testdir
/usr/bin/make CFLAGS="-g -O2 -D_REENTRANT" " -mieee"
make[1]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/gsl-1.7'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target ` -mieee'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/gsl-1.7'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2
