Old blacs isn't updated for powerpcspe. That's a trivial patch, perhaps
you could do it on your own source without worrying about loading old
blacs onto alioth. I'm interested in getting it into testing (post-

As far as the new scalapack goes, Christophe Trophime says he's got
preliminary packaging that we could use.
