Packing problem. They should be equal.
I will repack the 32 bit an bump.

1) openblas is optional but it collides with lapack blas.
So it must be before in the PATH

$ cygcheck -l libopenblas
/usr/bin/cygblas-0.dll

$ cygcheck -l liblapack0
/etc/profile.d/lapack0.csh
/etc/profile.d/lapack0.sh
/usr/lib/lapack/cygblas-0.dll
/usr/lib/lapack/cyglapack-0.dll


2) Is is not only octave that uses cygblas-0.dll
