Comment(by vbraun):

 ATLAS 3.8.3 is the latest stable release. The next release should come
 soon but until its out we should stick with 3.8.3

 ATLAS is also very difficult to build and it would be a nightmare to
 rewrite the spkg-install in POSIX shell script. This is why I rewrote the
 mixture of shell script, Perl, and Python in pure Python. Python is
 actually very well suited to detect the architectural defaults necessary
 for building ATLAS.

 I also take it from jhpalmieri's comment that "ld -V" exits with a non-
 zero exit code on t2 (where I don't have an account). I'll add a
 workaround later...
