Thanks that works well for numpy. Test pass. I hope that makes it into
a pull request. My site.cfg looks like this. I don't know about the
lapack_opt section. It doesn't seem to work.

[DEFAULT]
library_dirs = /home/skipper/.local/lib
include_dirs = /home/skipper/.local/include

[openblas]
libraries = openblas

[lapack_opt]
libraries = openblas

Do you have any idea how to get scipy working too. I have a similar
site.cfg, but it does not find lapack, which is rolled into
libopenblas from what I understand. I can do

export LAPACK=~/.local/lib/libopenblas.a
python setup.py build &> build.log
sudo -E python setup.py install

There are no obvious failures in the build.log, but scipy is still
broken because it needs lapack from numpy I guess.
