I doubt it, as atlas hasn't built for a bit:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=blas-1.0:lapack-3.0:lib/Linux_fpu_shared bin/Linux_fpu_shared/xsl3blastst -R all -N 10 1
00 10 -M 10 100 10 >>debian/test/xsl3blastst
bin/Linux_fpu_shared/xsl3blastst: error while loading shared libraries: blas-1.0/libblas.so.2: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x6ffd3e10 for symbol `scal_' out of range
All recent binutils are altivec capable. I expect that no one will
ever package the AltiVec-capable GCC, as it is exceedingly unreliable.
