I can reproduce the scalapack build failure on amd64 using nocheck.

The standard build pushes the BLACS test executables into TESTING
instead of the local location BLACS/TESTING.  When ctest runs (i.e.
when nocheck is not activated) it rebuilds the tests, leaving test
executables in  BLACS/TESTING (where testing for BLACS is performed). 
My scripts were pulling those executables (xCbtest and xFbtest) out of
BLACS/TESTING to install in scalapac-mpi-test.

When nocheck is active and ctest is not run, then the executables never
get created in BLACS/TESTING, so dh_install fails.  But they have been
built already in the toplevel TESTING dir.

The solution is to not install from BLACS/TESTING, but instead link
from there to the corresponding executable installed in TESTING.

So the m68k build should be successful for scalapack 2.0.2-1exp7.

Thanks for your help debugging.
