__global_ldflags is defined as %build_ldflags. Have you actually made it work?
I guess the only reason to worry about it at all is so it doesn't show up.
Those libraries are as close as possible to an alias of libblis etc., so I
doubt there's much scope for compromising them anyhow.

No, the idea is that you should be able to swap BLAS implementations at run
time via LD_LIBRARY_PATH/ld.so.conf; perhaps README.Fedora needs a better
explanation.  (See also 
https://loveshack.fedorapeople.org/blas-subversion.html for what I've run in
anger with OpenBLAS.) Fedora does need a useful linear algebra policy, but
that's been rejected in committee. Can you see a real problem in practice with
this approach?
