In case they update again.. and allow Julia later or you want to support the system they require support on: https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/Docs/system-requirements.html "You will need a computer system running UNIX, Microsoft Windows, or Mac OS X. Pre-compiled versions of the toolset are provided that are expected to work with: [List of some UNIX variants, unclear if support for all is needed or only any one, then macOS is supported.. Julia could theoretically support all] [..] one unsupported toolset is provided as a courtesy. - Alpha Tru64 Unix V5.1B or later" older info: https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/Docs/changes-in-v1.2.html "II.B. Unsupported toolsets: BSD dropped; Alpha updated. - SPEC CPU2006 V1.1 provided unsupported tools built on BSD. These toolsets are not present in SPEC CPU2006 V1.2. - SPEC CPU2006 V1.1 provided tools built on Digital Unix V4.0F. For SPEC CPU2006 V1.2, the tools have been rebuilt on Tru64 Unix V5.1B." Seems backwards, with Alpha discontinued as of April 2007 (and "SPEC Ships V1.1 <https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/press/V1.1release.html> (06/03/2008)") but: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tru64_UNIX "supported until December 2012" BSD still lives on..
