suitesparse test fails with Fedora 19 system Suitesparse

[nalimilan]

I'm trying to make a RPM package of Julia 0.2.0 for Fedora, and several tests fail. This one seems to be easy, the determinant is not of the expected sign. I've not checked the maths, is it expected that the sign is arbitrary, or is there a real problem?

$ make suitesparse
    JULIA test/suitesparse
     * suitesparse

Found the same error here, sounds quite common:

This problem is gone when passing USE_BLAS64=0 to make. So I guess this was the same problem as #5050.

Yes, SuiteSparse depends on BLAS - so same issue.
