configure: WARNING: A BLAS library was detected but found incompatible  
with your Fortran 77 compiler.  The reference BLAS implementation will  
be used. To improve performance, consider using a different Fortran  
compiler or a switch like -ff2c to make your Fortran compiler use a  
calling convention compatible with the way your BLAS library was  
compiled, or use a different BLAS library.

Summary:

All failures are related to round off error's, "single" precision, and/ 
or NaN/NA issues.

I've misplaced my note on how to switch to the new backend and came up  
empty after searching Nabble. Can someone repost what is needed to  
switch to the new backend.
