Debian has ocamlgsl 0.6.0, and it build-depends on gawk (and libgsl0)

Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.23-1.1), debhelper (>= 5), dpatch, ocaml-nox
(>= 3.10.0-9), ocaml-findlib (>= 1.1.2pl1-4), libgsl0-dev, chrpath,
gawk, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.19), camlp4 (>= 3.10.0)

http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/ocamlgsl.html
http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=ocamlgsl

(libgsl0 is 1.9)

Ubuntu people can take a look at build log, if they want to see
everything which is require to build ocamlgsl (using ocaml 3.10.0)
