there is nothing else running on the buildds, and the build failure was 
not an OOM kill.

What I actually wanted to try on the porterbox was whether changing
the failing "julia -O3" command would help.

If I had been able to reproduce this problem, I wanted to check whether
changing this to a lower optimization level on armhf would help.

armhf likely has some userbase for Julia due to the raspbian,
so keeping it available a bit longer there has value for users.
