OpenBLAS tests fail during julia build

[ajdecon]

Building on Fedora Core 16 on an AMD E-350. (Linux thor-fedora16 3.2.6-3.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Mon Feb 13 20:52:22 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)

(It's possible that this should be an OpenBLAS issue, but I wanted to start here in case this test failure has been seen before in Julia builds.)

Have you tried manually specifying a target architecture in Make.inc (TARGET_OPENBLAS_ARCH=...)? If that doesn't work I would (1) see if this is fixed in openblas v0.1alpha2.5 which we are now using instead of 2.4, and (2) look for/file an appropriate openblas issue.

Yes, this looks like an issue to be filed with openblas.

I am closing this for now, since this error has not been seen before in julia builds, and it is certainly an openblas issue.
