I was able to build Julia in Debian Sid and Jessie schroots on a porterbox.
I've added the files built on the porterbox here [1], and if you just
want to test the binary packages on the ShowMeBox you can do:

$ wget http://rrsg.ee.uct.ac.za/julia-arm/jessie/libopenspecfun1_0.4-1ubuntu1_armhf.deb
$ wget http://rrsg.ee.uct.ac.za/julia-arm/jessie/julia_0.3.11-1ubuntu2_armhf.deb
# dpkg -i libopenspecfun1_0.4-1ubuntu1_armhf.deb
# dpkg -i julia_0.3.11-1ubuntu2_armhf.deb
# apt-get install -f

Besides not being able to compile Julia on my LIME, some fairly basic
functions are causing segmentation faults.
e.g. 'eye(2)' which should return:

2x2 Array{Float64,2}:
 1.0  0.0
 0.0  1.0

and 'Pkg.update()' which should fetch the update list of Julia
packages using git.

Both of the above commands seem OK on the Debian porterbox and the Jetson TK1.
