commit 0c442318196389d653ee21eba65d8c4f7beb72a0
Author: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org>
Date:   Fri Oct 5 15:52:17 2018 +0000

    Use a dedicated cblas library, that may or may not be in fact the blas one.
    
    Openblas can be built with statically compiled convenience copies of
    cblas, but if not, then the system libcblas.so should be used.
