No idea, but I used the instructions from this blog: 
http://pong.tamu.edu/tiki/tiki-view_blog_post.php?blogId=6&postId=97 
to build scipy on my SuSE (still 10.0, but AMD 64 as well) and I found the 
compiler settings / flags recommended at 
http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/BuildingGeneral most helpful (I'm using 
g77 btw.).
