[ublas] [numeric-bindings] NumericBindings conflicts with LAPACKE

Hello,

I have two libraries that uses LAPACK subroutines, but one of them
uses Boost.NumericBindings and the other one uses LAPACKE (the
official LAPACK C interface).

I have troubles to make them work together since I got many conflict
errors at compilation time.

Here below is a stupid (but effective) example:

--- [boost_lapacke.cpp] ---
#include <boost/numeric/bindings/lapack/computational/getrf.hpp>
#include <lapacke.h>

int main()
{

}
--- [/boost_lapacke.cpp] ---

Now, try to compile it. For instance, in my case:

$ g++ -Wall -Wextra -ansi -pedantic -I/usr/include/lapacke
-I$HOME/sys/src/git/boost -I$HOME/sys/src/svn/boost-numeric_bindings
-o boost_lapacke boost_lapacke.cpp -llapack -lblas -llapacke -lm

The errors I get are like the one below:

--- [error] ---

Any idea on how to solve these conflicts?

My system is:
- Linux Fedora 22 x86_64
- LAPACK 3.5.0
- Boost git version
- Boost.NumericBindings svn version
- GCC 5.1.1

Thank you very much.

Best,

Marco
