I agree with Sven.
We have for a long time waited to solve the problem and enumerated the
solutions. I think it's time to move on and release a full thread safe solution.
Sven's solution is fine with me. It's a starting point (does not work on non
IEEE machine). I am not against using FORTRAN 90 INTRINSIC as is done in
LAPACK3E.
This latter solution would impose on the user to have a F90 compiler.

Subject: [Lapack] xLAMCH
Dear LAPACKers,
Following the helpful messages from Jeremy Barnes, I would like to press
the request, that I have made in the past, that we supply an IEEE
version of xLAMCH. My colleague, Mick Pont, has pointed out that we
have already moved xLAMCH into the INSTALL directory, and so we could
test for an IEEE machine at install time using the current xLAMCH and
move a hard coded version into SRC if the machine parameters are IEEE.
Best wishes,
Sven.
