Is --with-blas="-lgoto2" a known problem (other than possibly not being
the preferred choice)?
I thought I had been testing RC with the same setup I regularly use, but
I now see there was a slight difference. I am now getting the following
failure in make check on 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04, configuring with
--with-blas="-lgoto2". (These may not be surprising statistically or
numerically, but it is a bit disconcerting when make check fails.)

I inadvertently seemed to have set things slightly differently while
