Comment:
> is it expected that now giac does not depend on blas or lapack on x86_64-musl? I only realised it now, after xbps-remove -oO, and guessed this pr made the change.

Yes. I've been changing packages to prefer using openblas rather than lapack when available. See for example #39846 (SuiteSparse, cvxopt) and #40224 (igraph) which are awaiting merge.

The point is that lapack is just a portable reference implementation of blas/lapack that is replaceable by an optimized implementation like openblas (or the one by intel, but I don't think it's free).
