dgesdd not exported in v0.2.4 on OSX

[staticfloat]

Hey there @xianyi,

The Julia dev team just noticed that OpenBLAS v0.2.4 doesn't seem to export dgesdd_ in the same way as it used to. With v0.2.3, I used to get:

$ nm libopenblas_penrynp-r0.2.3.dylib | grep dgesdd
0000000000929430 T _LAPACKE_dgesdd
00000000009295f0 T _LAPACKE_dgesdd_work
0000000000578f30 T _dgesdd_

But now with v0.2.4, I get:

$ nm libopenblas_penrynp-r0.2.4.dylib | grep dgesdd
00000000009313b0 T _LAPACKE_dgesdd
0000000000931570 T _LAPACKE_dgesdd_work
000000000057a870 t _dgesdd_

Note that the lowecase t before _dgesdd_ in the v0.2.4 output means that _dgesdd_ is a local, not global symbol, and thus I don't think we can dynamically link to it. I took a look at the source differences between v0.2.3 and v0.2.4, but I can't really figure out why this is happening. Also, this issue seems to be related to the OSX platform; Ubuntu machines seem to be able to dynamically link to _dgesdd_ just fine.

Thanks for filing this and looking into it.

Interesting - a bisect session seems to point at 08c177c as the first bad revision. This was when we upgraded from LAPACK 3.4.1 to 3.4.2. This should just be a bug-fix release and a quick glance doesn't seem to indicate any change in how the code is built.

Perhaps this is a problem with LAPACK?

I have fixed this on the develop branch. It turns out we weren't exporting the symbols for the new LAPACK version.

Great. We'll just hold off on moving to 0.2.4 until that gets merged into a
stable branch then!

Thanks for the quick fix!

Fantastic. We'll just wait for 0.2.5. There is no hurry to use 0.2.4 for julia.

Thank @zchothia for your patch.

I forgot it. :(
