math/ATLAS upgrade fails Benchmarking xzllttst

[John Bowman]

I am duplicating Karsten Rothemund's earlier post, as my error message 
is identical except for timing numbers:

Unfortunately I only have the last few lines (because of the portupgrade):

It was in the THREADED_PIC run of the compilation.


Since this appears to be an error in the benchmark / test software 
rather than in ATLAS proper, I'm thinking of removing the test from the 
Makefile and trying again.  However, doing this sort of thing is more an 
act of desperation than a well-thought-out strategy for success.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
