Hi Gert!

yes, sure, but disabling this flag has a nasty side-effect, it is disabled in 
the *whole* build, possibly
hiding more serious issues somewhere else.

I would prefer disabling that test, rather than disabling a security feature in 
the whole package.

BTW fedora packaged "F2CLIBS" separately from clapack, I'm not sure if worth a 
try or not, but it should be at least considered.

cheers,

G.
