Comment (by jhpalmieri):

 Replying to [comment:84 vbraun]:
 >   * John, I'm against changing the exit codes, we report whatever the
 sub-process spat out. So even if its >127, thats just what we were handed
 so clearly its a supported exit code.

 But after `sys.exit(512)`, Python has return code of zero, on sage.math,
 OS X, and !OpenSolaris. So sage-spkg thinks the spkg installed correctly,
 which it clearly didn't. From the
 [http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.exit documentation for
 os.system], it looks to me that its output should be divided by 512 to get
 a return code suitable for sys.exit, but I'm not sure about that. However
 you want to fix it, it has to be changed: it's not acceptable for the
 compilation to fail but for spkg-install to have a return code of zero.

 >   I don't have an account on hawk, but in any case that should not stop
 us from shipping an updated ATLAS that fixes build issues on modern
 hard/software. We can always clean up second-tier platforms later. But do
 post the whole log, the error is likely further up.

 The log is posted at
 [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/palmieri/misc/atlas-3.10.0.log].
