later I tried plain-vanilla, well.. redhats' and derivatives
default packages and they all fail:

Error: identical(z, x %*% t(y)) is not TRUE
Execution halted

It is not clear what you mean:
The quoted page lists particular AMD BLAS versions that fail R's regression
test.
Other builds of R would run the regression test during building and you can run
them yourself if you get the source code (for good measure, use the current
version, not one from a 2011 web posting, i.e., fetch say
https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-3-1-branch/tests/reg-BLAS.R).
E.g., for me
Peters-iMac:R pd$ ../BUILD/bin/R --vanilla < tests/reg-BLAS.R
... normal output, no errors ...
There is some risk that binary builds of R on one machine will fail on another. If this
happens, it could be quite serious, so developers would want to know. However
"most...seem to fail" is not enough to act upon. What exactly did you do, on
which computing platform, and what happened that makes you believe that it had failed?

dear developers
I myself am not a prog-devel, I found this
http://devgurus.amd.com/message/1255852#1255852
Most R compilations/installations I use seem to fail this test, is this a
problem and if yes then how serious is it?
