Edmund, thanks for pointing out the exact cause of the FTBFS. The issue has been fixed with libuv commit 1d8332f, which takes a slightly different approach by calling either uv__epoll_wait or uv__epoll_pwait, depending on availability [1]. [1] https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/308 This bug would have been avoided if Julia had not forked libuv without keeping it up to date :-(. I will forward the issue to the Julia maintainers and hopefully motivate them to switch to upstream libuv sooner than later. Regards, Peter
