I ran in win7 with no issues. But I also havent had any issues with printing either ...

Can this bug be closed now?  I've built MXE-Octave with the new patch in place and it appears to work.  I inverted a random 100x100 matrix.  I also changed the environment variable OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS to 2 and ran the CLI version of Octave and it appeared to work.

I tried to run _run_test_suite_ but I got a segmentation violation which I will report as a new bug because I don't think it is related to this.

Looking through init.c from OpenBLAS, if it doesn't find any relevant environment variables (including OMP_NUM_THREADS) then it defaults to using all the cores.

If threading is enabled, what should the default be for OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS?  What does openblas use if that environment variable is not set?

You are welcome to build Octave with whatever options you choose, but there are still a number of problems with 64-bit indexing so --enable-64 should not yet be made the default.

I noticed when running the Windows MXE builds that only a single thread is used even when BLAS-heavy routines. Looking at the MXE make file openblas.mk indicates USE_THREAD=0 is the default.

Would it be possible to turn USE_THREAD=1 and then let users specify OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS as an environment variable?

Also, would it be possible to configure the Windows build to use --enable-64?
