 Solaris or OpenSolaris somehow?

 hardware.

 Ignore my question about guaranteeing Solaris or !OpenSolaris; I was
 confused.

 However, on a system like sage.math, uname -m outputs "x86_64".  The same
 happens with many of the other linux skynet machines. I've only seen the
 output "i86pc" on fulvia, an x86 machine running Solaris.  So if you have
 an x86 machine running Solaris, will it always print "i86pc" instead of
 "x86_64", for example?

 Regarding the problem on mark2 and elsewhere, maybe we should continue to
 not build the shared libraries?  If I have the time, I'll try rebuilding
 on mark2 and then delete the shared library after ATLAS has been
 installed, to see if R builds successfully after that.  If this works, I'm
 not sure what it means: is it an ATLAS problem or an R problem or
 something else?
