OK. It’s reasonable to leave them as is, perhaps with a link to your
message in a comment.

I would patch suitesparse to produce shared libs, but if it’s a
“hand-made” build system, it’ll probably have to produce either shared
libs or static libs, but not both (which would require building both PIC
and non-PIC objects, etc.) Having it build shared libs only is probably
OK.
Regardless, it’s OK to push Julia as is for now, and adjust suitesparse
and Julia in eventual commits.

I think these two are done now, no?

Thank you!
