Presumably that could be added to the Fedora package as a patch. It's
SMOP to check the CPU and load the proper library, if someone who knew
how were to do it. Other distros might also use such a patch. Then
there would be only one package per arch, containing all variants.

I haven't been able to get that to work [1], but it does take over 3
hours to fail. I don't think most users can be expected to build their
own ATLAS.
