Comment (by jpflori):
I got why this is failing:
basically it seems that atlas builds the thread stuff using an assembly
version and a mutex version suffixed with _mut, put everything in the
static libatlas.a, and then tests if the assembly version is actually
faster.
Usually it is and every thing is fine, but if not, then it rebuilds the
mutex versions without the mut suffix and adds it to the static
libatlas.a.
So when we turn it into a shared library the linker fails because these
symbols are available in two different objects we extracted from the
static archive.
Now the solution is to modify ATLAS build system which is non-trivial
without upstream support but might be feasible, I'll have a look.
At first I wonder why the static archive produced for tuning is just
modified (running "ar r") in the "build" phase, and not wiped out and then
rebuilt from scratch.
