Your requests, comments, contribution are greatly appreciated and we are doing our best include them in our libraries. The fortran interface names are similar to amds 64bit acml library and they can be called directly.
So, sorry to disappoint you, but even allowing for intels. And even if mkl may not be optimal on amd processors, its still faster than acml amds own equivalent and every other math library apart perhaps, and even then very debatable from atlasopenblas.
