Good suggestion. I was going to propose simply skipping the test. The MKL failure looks to be due to needing an uppercase 'XERBLA_',  and the infrastructure for that sort of thing isn't in the linalg package. Plus I think we need more support in the configuration phase. From what I have seen so far, folks tend to depend on `./configure` to get that information, then make exceptions for Cray and various other platforms.
