Yeah, I figured that out, there is a comment in dotblas that says not, but
checking how things are configured, it turns out they should be good. The
original problem seems to have been that dotblas requires cblas and can't
work with fortran blas. OTOH, linalg uses the f2c interface and, I presume,
can link to fortran libraries. It would be nice to unify the two at some
point.
