Comment(by drkirkby):

 {{{
 drkirkby@hawk:~$ ls /ATLAS32/lib
 libatlas.a     libcblas.a     libf77blas.a   liblapack.a
 libatlas.so    libcblas.so    libf77blas.so
 }}}

 I'm not convinced we need '''any''' shared libraries. I don't believe
 ATLAS builds any, and certainly Mathematica comes with libatlas.a, but no
 libatlas.so.

 Note there is no {{{liblapack.so}}}, yet this builds fine.

 On the 64-bit version,

 {{{
 drkirkby@hawk:~$ ls /ATLAS64/lib
 libatlas.a     libcblas.a     libf77blas.a
 libatlas.so    libcblas.so    libf77blas.so
 }}}

 but I must have omitted to copy {{{liblapack.a}}} there, which is why I
 had to build ATLAS from scratch, which takes about 15 minutes on this
 machine in 64-bit mode, but a few hours in 32-bit mode, since the ATLAS
 package does not have the right tuning parameters for 32-bit code.

 I've since copied the 64-bit liblapack.a to my global installation
 directory, so now the directory has

 {{{
 drkirkby@hawk:~/pre-release/64/sage-4.7.alpha1/local/lib$  ls /ATLAS64/lib
 libatlas.a     libcblas.a     libf77blas.a   liblapack.a
 libatlas.so    libcblas.so    libf77blas.so
 }}}

 which is the same number and names as the 32-bit version.
