There is information in easybuilders/easybuild-framework#3809 (comment) on using an alternative toolchain on POWER9 for those wanting 2021a and newer. I am no longer working on this, so I am closing this. |

Proper workaround for allowing the use of FlexiBLAS on POWER is implemented in #15885, so there's no need anymore for special workarounds for POWER by mangling the definition of the |

foss/2021aandfoss/2021.07(candidate forfoss/2021b) we see a seg fault when running thenumpytests on top of FlexiBLAS with OpenBLAS as the backend (#12968). However, we do not see this issue if we remove FlexiBLAS and use OpenBLAS directly.This PR keeps using FlexiBLAS / OpenBLAS for other architectures, but uses the architecture specific dependencies to allow us to use OpenBLAS directly on POWER.

numpyandscipytest suites passing.
