failing numpy test for some SciPy-bundle easyconfigs

[boegel]

With the enhanced numpy easyblock that doesn't ignore failing tests anymore (see easybuilders/easybuild-easyblocks#2238), some SciPy-bundle easyconfigs got broken.

For example, there's one failing numpy test inSciPy-bundle-2020.11-intel-2020b:

        try:
            os.chdir(self._dir1)
            # Check that the '[ALL]' section does not override
            # missing values from other sections
            info = mkl_info()
            lib_dirs = info.cp['ALL']['library_dirs'].split(os.pathsep)
            assert info.get_lib_dirs() != lib_dirs

            # But if we copy the values to a '[mkl]' section the value
            # is correct

Looks related to numpy/numpy#16769 .

@mboisson Do you have any more info on this, since you pitched in there?

[mboisson]

Mmm, not really, we built the wheel manually and ignored the failing test.
