Comment (by sean@…):

 I would probably avoid `gcc5` since `julia` is built on top of LLVM and
 compiles down to IR. Their webpage only list
 [http://julialang.org/downloads/ 10.7+]. It appears you are on your way to
 patching `julia` to work on 10.6, which seems to be a lesson in futility
 since the community of `julia` relies on modern features of LLVM but, hey,
 that's your discretion. I have no way to test 10.6 so I won't be of much
 help. Besides, you know, the usual advice of upgrading to newer OS to save
 yourself the headache.
