New review comment by non-Jedi on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/24097#discussion_r476718253 Comment: >(which never should have been the case---I don't know of a non-dead architeture that is natively ILP64---why would Julia impose this???) I went digging: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/1527 Looks like blas uses `int` for dimensions, so if you want to have arrays with dimensions greater than 2147483647 you need ILP64. My understanding here is fuzzy at best, so I could be off-base.
