Comment:

 Agreed, let's move on and merge this considering:
 * sqrtl is not really a prereq as it should be on all supported platform
 or provided either by cheating or by building cephes (and note FreeBSD is
 even not officialy supported). Later we can give it a similar treatment as
 GCC. We can wait for 6.1 to do this.
 * the ATLAS thing is currently only somehow boring on Cygwin, but the
 ATLAS spkg takes care of this (although later than the prereq one) and
 that is planned to change. For the moment what will happen is that ATLAS
 build will fail and tell the user to install the needed packages, he will
 do that and then the build process will go on. I guess someone actually
 trying to compile a huge thing as Sage can live with that. We should
 already wait for #10508 to be merged before doing that.
