 unfortunately this does not help on MacOSX 10.5 PPC.
 I tried to recompile lapack with extra "-fdefault-double-8 -fdefault-
 real-8" options put into sage_fortran, to no avail.
 One cannot add -fdefault-double-8 option alone, as the compiler (gfortran
 4.2.1)
 says that -fdefault-real-8 is required along with it.
 And -fdefault-real-8 alone produces code that does not work.

 The next attempt will be with "-fdefault-real-8  -mlong-double-128
 -lmx"...
