OpenBLAS not working with cp2k?

Dear Jörg,
we test CP2K against OpenBLAS in our regtests (see 
https://www.cp2k.org/static/regtest/trunk/ethz-s03/regtest-ssmp-current.out) 
by using the CP2K toolchain.
In particular, I see that we are using openblas-0.2.20 (same as you). I see 
in the toolchain script that we use 

make -j $nprocs \ 
        USE_THREAD=1 \ 
        USE_OPENMP=1 \ 
        LIBNAMESUFFIX=omp \ 
        CC=$(basename $CC) \ 
        FC=$(basename $FC)

I would suggest to try directly the toolchain and see if it works on your 
cluster...

Alfio
