+
+    # BLAS and LAPACK: Julia prefers 64-bit versions on 64-bit systems. OpenBLAS
+    # has an option for this; make it available as variant.
+
+    # FFTW: Something doesn't work when using a pre-installed FFTW library; need
+    # to investigate.
+
+    # GMP, MPFR: Something doesn't work when using a pre-installed FFTW library;
+    # need to investigate.
+
+    # LLVM: Julia works only with specific versions, and might require patches.
+    # Thus we let Julia install its own LLVM.
