Hmm. Doesn't look like it is actually working, though. Install
lapack-devel, configure --with-lapack, and make check dies with
running code in 'base-Ex.R' ...make[4]: *** [base-Ex.Rout] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/pd/r-devel/BUILD/tests/Examples'
make[3]: *** [test-Examples-Base] Error 2

Error in La.svd(x, nu, nv) : BLAS/LAPACK routine 'DGEBRD' gave error code -10
Execution halted
This happens on both x86_64 and x86 installs of FC4.
I have a strong sense of deja vu regarding this error.
