Yes. Scipy does not make any use of LAPACK/make.inc, it just compiles .f 
files to liblapack_src.a and uses it when linking an extension module.

Yes, I'd choose this approach. So, replace the line

   OPTS     = -funroll-all-loops -fno-f2c -O3

in make.inc with

   OPTS     = -funroll-all-loops -O2

and proceed with

   make lapacklib
   mv lapack_LINUX.a libflapack.a
   export LAPACK=/path/to/libflapack.a
   ...

Also, don't read INSTALL.txt :), read

   http://www.scipy.org/documentation/buildscipy.txt

instead. Detailed instructions for building ATLAS for Scipy can be 
found here:
