It is not clear what you mean:
The quoted page lists particular AMD BLAS versions that fail R's regression
test.
Other builds of R would run the regression test during building and you can run
them yourself if you get the source code (for good measure, use the current
version, not one from a 2011 web posting, i.e., fetch say
https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-3-1-branch/tests/reg-BLAS.R).
E.g., for me
Peters-iMac:R pd$ ../BUILD/bin/R --vanilla < tests/reg-BLAS.R
... normal output, no errors ...
There is some risk that binary builds of R on one machine will fail on another.
If this happens, it could be quite serious, so developers would want to know.
However "most...seem to fail" is not enough to act upon. What exactly
did you do, on which computing platform, and what happened that makes you
believe that it had failed?
