ok, I applied the patch, ran authogen.sh and then configured

configure: WARNING: A BLAS library was detected but found incompatible  
with your Fortran 77 compiler.  The reference BLAS implementation will  
be used. To improve performance, consider using a different Fortran  
compiler or a switch like -ff2c to make your Fortran compiler use a  
calling convention compatible with the way your BLAS library was  
compiled, or use a different BLAS library.

Summary:

   PASS   4985
   FAIL      5

All failures are related to round off error's, "single" precision, and/ 
or NaN/NA issues.

I've misplaced my note on how to switch to the new backend and came up  
empty after searching Nabble. Can someone repost what is needed to  
switch to the new backend.

TiA,
