??? So what is the result then? Are zgelss_ and others defined or not?

CLAPACK??? Unless CLAPACK provides symbol names with '_' suffix, you 
should complete ATLAS liblapack.a with Fortran LAPACK.

I suspect that scipy setup finds different atlas/lapack from you system 
than that you specify with `pkd-config`. Try building scipy as follows

  rm -rf build
  export ATLAS=/opt/src/math/numerical/matrix/atlas/current/lib/Linux_P4SSE2
  python setup.py build
