The Lapack installation hints under
http://www.netlib.org/lapack/html/installation.hints
show that some adjustment was necessary for Crays because
# 1. The Cray compilers implement a complex divide without scaling. To run
# the complex linear equation tests on the T3D, I had to modify SLABAD to
# take the square root of overflow and underflow. I ran the eigenvalue
# tests with the default version of SLABAD.
Currently, gcc also uses a naive complex division algorithm without
scaling, see PR 18092. This may be the cause of a lot of the complex
LAPACK failures. Unfortunately, this is not easily changed, because
the scaled algorithm is currently broken, see PR 19486.
