 Other Notes:
 
 - OpenBLAS can be built with NOFORTRAN, in that case it's CBLAS + f2c'd LAPACK
+- OpenBLAS can be built without LAPACK support, Arch Linux currently does this
+  (see https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/17465)
 - OpenBLAS library can be renamed with an option in its Makefile
