pass its own testsuite on some dead arch, fixes actual issues with modern
CPUs as reported on the mailinglist.
You mean the (reproducible) segfaults on some AVX CPUs? These can be
solved by reinstalling the ATLAS spkg (one or two times) -- which doesn't
take that long, as these CPUs are fast... ;-)
No, seriously, as a temporary "solution", we could at least put the old
ATLAS, BLAS and LAPACK spkgs into the experimental branch, such that
(e.g.) Itanium users can still access them (to be installed manually with
`./sage -f ...` of course).

W.r.t. the "dead archictecture": It's IMHO always good to test on a broad
range of platforms, as that might expose real bugs that just incidentally
don't show up on the "mainstream" (Intel, AMD, meanwhile perhaps also
ARM); if one day GCC does no longer support Itanium, the situation will be
different.
