On MS Windows, using gcc, I reported:

Adding 'CC="gcc -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO"' to the configure args fixes the 
problem, and the spmatrix test then passes.

I'm thinking it's the "%lg" in 'gsl_spmatrix_fprintf(f, A, "%lg");' in 
spmatrix/test.c that needs __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO to be defined.
(But if that doesn't make sense, then it might be something else ;-)
