This is a Basic Linear Algebra System (BLAS) and FFT library.  I'm not
sure if the BLAS is compatible with the Netlib code, but it probably
is.  See:

I don't think so.  There is a Linux/GCC version available at

See above.  They are distributed as object libraries, and are highly
optimized for the target architecture (x86).  You can, however, get
FORTRAN and C source for BLAS and FFT's from netlib.
