Using gcc is not really fine except under certain conditions.  If you
try to compile with -g, you can't make a shared module b/c of problems
with the size of some symbol table (and using -fPIC doesn't solve the
problem).  

Exactly /how/ does one configure out the lapack_lite stuff and switch
to using the fortran versions.  That has not been convered in anything
I've personally read.
