Bug#628424: atlas: FTBFS: ld: cannot find -lc (incorrect ld -m<flag>)

[Christoph Egger]

Package: src:atlas
Version: 3.8.4-1
Severity: serious
Tags: sid wheezy
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Hi!

    atlas fails to build on kfreebsd buildds as ld is invoked with
`-melf_x86_64` which is incorrect -- it should be elf_x86_64_fbsd or
nothing at all as the default is just fine. (Similar for kfreebsd-i386)

Regards

    Christoph
