Why should it even need gas? numpy needs clang+egfortran, and BLAS/LAPACK. I normally build it with OpenBLAS (which in turn can be built with clang+egfortran) - not the admittedly lame reference BLAS/LAPACK. OpenBLAS is not packaged, sadly - although it's basically the only option for performant free BLAS/LAPACK with a BSD license nowadays. Such a setup allows building scipy on OpenBSD, by the way. Dima PS. some time ago I asked whether egfortran can be renamed (back?) to gfortran, and its package should also be named gfortran, and not g95 (which is simply wrong, as g95 is a different, and dead by now, project). (there is no gfortran package present any more, so it should be OK to re-use the name)
