Comment(by vbraun):

 For the record, the updated ATLAS spkg from #10226 uses the `$UNAME`
 environment variable (which Sage sets) if available, and python's portable
 `platform.system()` otherwise:

 {{{
 #!python
 try:
     conf['system'] = os.environ['UNAME']
 except KeyError:
     conf['system'] = platform.system()
 }}}
 Also there is some support for `SAGE_FAT_BINARY`:
 {{{
 #!python
     if os.environ.get('SAGE_FAT_BINARY', 'no') == 'yes' and
 conf['Intel?']:
         print 'Sage "fat" binary mode set: Building SSE2 only Hammer
 binary'
         print 'NOTE: This can result in a Sage that is significantly
 slower at certain numerical'
         print 'linear algebra since full FAT binary support has not been
 implemented yet.'
         arch = 'HAMMER'
         isa_ext = ('SSE2', 'SSE1')
 }}}
 Though I'm not sure if anybody ever verified that ATLAS, with these
 settings, indeed does not use any more advanced isa extensions.
