Hi,
FWIW, what Fedora did is to ship an additional package with ILP64
libraries (actually two: one with standard symbol names, and one with
the 64_ suffix, which Julia uses to avoid conflicts with libraries that
don't use ILP64). Porting all packages to ILP64 is probably very hard
or impossible at this point.
