I'm -1 on returning to the previous situation where many routines on
OSX are simply broken (which was the situation previously ---
"disabling single precision" left several things still broken). I'd
rather just postpone the 0.13.0 release until this issue is solved
properly.

Can you say what exactly is wrong -- as far as I know, Accelerate on
OSX simply uses g77 ABI. There were some bugs previously where it in
places did things differently, but on recent OSX releases this is no
longer the case?

I guess you are trying to link with MKL? In that case, I would rather
propose restoring the previous MKL wrappers (with trivial extensions
for the missing w* symbols).
