Hello and happy new year!

Any update on this bug?
I took a look at the merged bug reports, but I cannot understand
how and/or when the bug will be fixed...

Is there a workaround?
I mean: is there something that I can do manually in order to make the
whole thing work correctly?

Or should I just go on using the (slow) reference implementation of
LAPACK and wait for this bug to be fixed?


Thanks for your time and for any help you can provide!
