Lluís Batlle i Rossell 4250dd8104 I made atlas build for fixed architectures.
We saw a crash in many computers, in the octave check phase, where octave crashed.
It was due to atlas being built for AMD Family 10h, which has a special SSE
trick that others computer don't have.

For x86_64, atlas is for K7. And for i686, PII.

# * -fPIC allows to build atlas inside shared objects, as octave does.

# * Atlas aborts the build if it detects that some kind of CPU frequency
# scaling is active on the build machine because that feature offsets the
# performance timings. We ignore that check, however, because with binaries
# being pre-built on Hydra those timings aren't accurate for the local
# machine in the first place.
# * Atlas detects the cpu and does some tricks. For example, notices the
# hydra AMD Family 10h computer, and uses a SSE trick for it (bit 17 of MXCSR)
# available, for what I know, only in that family. So we hardcode K7
# -A 31 = Athlon K7
# -A 18 = Pentium II
# -V 192 = SSE1|SSE2 (Or it takes SSE3 somehow in my machine without SSE3)
# -t 0 = No threading

The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is an ongoing
research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques in order to provide
portable performance. At present, it provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a
portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK.
