The illegal instruction errors are in openblas, which is marked
non-substitutable because it apparently builds itself customized to the
CPU on the build machine.  So, I guess openblas might have been built on
a build slave with more processor features than the one used to build
Julia.

Perhaps the answer is that Julia shouldn't be built by Hydra, because
one of its transitive inputs is non-substitutable.

   Thoughts?
