I assume you are building it as an RPM then?  We also do this, but I've
been cheating by getting ATLAS to build it for me, then stealing the
build flags suggested by ATLAS to create the LAPACK RPM, which we keep
separate from one tuned for GotoBLAS by hand using the tools provided
helpfully by ATLAS (yes this is a bit confusing, but it works very well).
