Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:5 Veence]:
 > That could work, but you can’t do any cross-compiling with Atlas,
 because for each matrix function to be included in the library, the
 building code compiles a set of candidates and compares their performance,
 selecting the best one. If you cross-compile and use Rosetta, that process
 makes no sense any more, and you end up with a random and possibly
 defective library.

 Got it, thank you. Can it be built without cpu-specific optimizations
 though? (It may not have a huge benefit, of course, but just in
 principle.)
