[SciPy-user] Running scipy.test on recent SVN build

[Joshua Lippai]

Alright, I rebuilt scipy and managed to whittle it down to 7 errors
instead of 8, but that failure is still there, and there weren't any
alarms during the building other than:

library 'mach' defined more than once, overwriting build_info
{'sources': ['scipy/integrate/mach/d1mach.f',
'scipy/integrate/mach/i1mach.f', 'scipy/integrate/mach/r1mach.f',
'scipy/integrate/mach/xerror.f'], 'config_fc': {'noopt':
('scipy/integrate/setup.pyc', 1)}, 'source_languages': ['f77']}...
with
{'sources': ['scipy/special/mach/d1mach.f',
'scipy/special/mach/i1mach.f', 'scipy/special/mach/r1mach.f',
'scipy/special/mach/xerror.f'], 'config_fc': {'noopt':
('scipy/special/setup.pyc', 1)}, 'source_languages': ['f77']}...

Any ideas on this?
