I just saw that the same inacceptable change was proposed for the
linear-algebra package and possibly also (?) for the optiminterp
package. The same problem should also exist in the packages (not
included in this patch) control, octgpr, and odepkg. One cannot just
unconditionally hardcode the lapack library to link to only because
the Mingw built of Octave can not handle a (hopefully) correct way to
specify it. These lines in the Makefiles regarding the lapack linkage
were introduced only recently into these packages after some
discussion and some thinking.
