That may not be such a big problem as you think. There are ATLAS is a
set of optimised routines for which there are much simpler
non-optimised versions. Some are already in Sage, such as BLAS, Lapack
etc. These are relatively simple C or Fortran programs, so it may be
possible to circumvent the ATLAS problem.

Another attack may be to get ATLAS to build on ARM. The fact it builds
on so many different systems suggests it might not be too difficult to
sort out the issues.
