Hi Marc,

I have been using bicatali's overlay for a bit and I recompiled all the 
cblas/lapack stack from sage a few times with different implementations
in the last few days. The only time i had an issue was when the value
eselected was not what I wanted by accident.

I am curious to see your build log for numpy and scipy. Also what does 
ldd /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/scipy/linalg/clapack.so
reports?
