The list of files to add to libcruft is generated automatically and
should include all the .f files in the blas directory (if you are
compiling with --with-blas=no or your system doesn't have a blas
library installed when you configure Octave).  This seems to work
correctly for me.  Can you please try to debug why it failed on your
system?

Thanks,
