Actually, under GNU/Linux & Mac OS X, it is irrelevant. It is hard to
properly detect the underlying linear algebra library (if it ref BLAS,
atlas or the MKL).
Under Windows, it is easier but still not very interesting ... It is why
we are going to move it in getdebuginfo() under Windows and drop it
under !Windows.
