As Berend said, this should be talked about with the maintainer.  It 
would be helpful if you could show more detail of the test that failed.

For example, what does

/lrz/sys/libraries/gsl/2.3/bin/gsl-config --version --cflags

print?  For me, the second line from gsl-config is

-I/usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/include

and I can see using

less /usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/include/gsl/gsl_version.h

that the macros are defined as

#define GSL_VERSION "1.16"
#define GSL_MAJOR_VERSION 1
#define GSL_MINOR_VERSION 16

Presumably you'll get something else...
