Didier,

   Downloaded the tarball and tried building it. The error reported is:

Makefile:135: *** OpenBLAS: Detecting CPU failed.  Please set TARGET
explicitly, e.g.  make TARGET=your_cpu_target.  Please read README for the
detail..  Stop.

README:

OpenBLAS is an optimized BLAS library based on GotoBLAS2 1.13 BSD version.

Added symbolic link to install a generic blas library that can be used by
Octave and R.

   In OpenBLAS.SlackBuild the target looks at uname -m which here reports the
processor type as x86_64. That target is not explicit in the build file, but
I assume it's accepted in the last choice after i?586 and arm*.

   Should I add a target of x86_64 to the build script?
