I think your impression is not mistaken, the f2c'd stuff really is
intended to be included only when a real lapack is not available. And
lamc3_ is not called in lapack_litemodule.c...

Even more curiously, dlamc3_ is actually included in dlamch.c, so if
that file is included in the build, one would expect the routine be
available...

Perhaps there is some distutils mystery going on, maybe the depends list
becomes reordered or something, messing up the list of files included in
the build.

In fact, I don't understand why linalg/setup.py uses a callback to
construct the source file list -- it would be simpler to construct the
source file list before passing it on to config.add_extension.

Can you try to change linalg/setup.py so that it *only* includes
lapack_litemodule.c in the build?
