[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#816980: Bug#816980: julia: FTBFS in testing (signal (11): Segmentation fault)

[Tony Kelman]

Probably because the Debian build isn't using the stable, tested,
recommended and supported version of LLVM for that branch of Julia. LLVM
makes significant breaking changes to all of their API's between minor
versions, so removing old versions from Debian means downstream users of
LLVM end up broken or with serious performance and memory regressions.
