 I currently don't know whether the new (''Python'' install script) ATLAS
 spkg from #10226 supports `SAGE_FAT_BINARY` as desired, but for the
 record:

  * `uname -p` isn't portable (it may return "`unknown`" even on Linuces),
 one should use `uname -m` instead.

  * Rather than having (btw. incomplete)
 {{{
 #!sh
     if [ ... -o ... -o ... -o ... ]; then ...
 }}}
  one should use
 {{{
 #!sh
     case "`uname -m`" in
       i[3456]86|i86pc)
         ...
         ;;
       amd64|x86_64)
         ...
         ;;
       ia64) # Itanium
         ...
         ;;
       # etc.
     esac
 }}}
  instead, which is not only more readable, but also more robust (and
 portable w.r.t. broken / buggy `test` commands).
