Thanks for the bug reports!
I think the shared-library errors are libtool related and probably
have to be worked around with ./configure --disable-shared. I've
upgraded the libtool in GSL to the latest stable version (1.4.1 ->
1.4.3), it won't fix these problems but it might help some others.
The error in the linalg/herm tests is a compiler bug in those versions
of gcc on alpha.
The error for acosh was due to a bug in the gsl configure script (now
fixed).
