Bug#1121177: openblas breaks multiple autopkgtest on ppc64el

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of openblas the autopkgtests of dolfin, gemma, 
openmolcas, and xtensor-blas fail on ppc64el in testing when their 
autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of openblas from unstable. 
It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular form (for 
dolfin):

                        pass            fail
openblas               from testing    0.3.30+ds-3
dolfin                 from testing    2019.2.0~legacy20240219.1c52e83-24
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of openblas to 
testing [1]. Can you please investigate the situation?

Someone pointed me at https://github.com/OpenMathLib/OpenBLAS/pull/5463 
which may completely unrelated, but at least include changes for ppc64el.

Paul
