Symlinking the vecLib-based BLAS no longer seems to work with R 4.5.0. After running `ln -sf libRblas.vecLib.dylib libRblas.dylib`, R fails to load the stats package:
```
During startup - Warning message:
package ‘stats’ in options("defaultPackages") was not found
> library(stats)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘stats’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.5-arm64/Resources/library/stats/libs/stats.so':
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.5-arm64/Resources/library/stats/libs/stats.so, 0x0006): Symbol not found: _dgemmtr_

```
Switching back to the default BLAS fixes the problem. In R 4.4.3, which I also still have installed through rig, the vecLib BLAS works fine.
