not really :)
is at the latest stable version (the odd-numbered series like 3.9
are the devel versions), and I was thinking of waiting out the next
stable version before changing atlas : things are still very much in  
flux
(e.g., use of netlib 3.2; library versioning not OK at all, etc..)
But I agree this version is quite good _ am using it myself since
months with several machines and successive gcc compilers w/o problem.

The only things I'd suggest you change in that info file are :
1) remove the first line of the PatchScript _ that fix (and other  
similar
ones) went into the sources since the early 3.9.x series,
and the command can only do harm now..
2) add in the Patchscript :

# next is to have ATL_AS_OSX_PPC defined when it should be
  sed -i.bak -e '1i #include "atlas_asm.h"' tune/blas/gemm/CASES/ 
ATL_dmm4x4x2pf_av.c

3) remove in the TestScript the lines starting with
"# first getting around an internal compiler error with gcc4.3.1"

and more generally , since the testsuite has changed quite a lot, and  
is much more
comprehensive,

4) change the TestScript to what I'm currently using (I don't *think*  
it is affected
by the difference between builds):

(or you can copy it from the info file in my exp dir , if the mailer  
maims the above)

5) PLEASE do run the testsuite , on as many different machines/systems  
as possible !!!

Best,

Jean-Francois
