IIRC, Atlas loops over series of build/test operations to find the set
of compilation parameters (including CPU extensions to use) that suits
best the machine it is running on. It is also able to take a set of
pre-computed parameters and simply build using them.

Unless this behavior has changed significantly (my Atlas knowledge being
outdated) I think the source package should contain pre-computed
parameters for each of the architectures and sub-architectures it can
build on.
