Unable to precompile on Julia 1.5.3

[fpmenninger]

Windows 10

1. the build.log in E:\ProgramFiles\Julia.julia\packages\Nemo\QMPxi\deps\ is blank.
2. E:\ProgramFiles\Julia.julia\packages\Nemo\QMPxi\src\Nemo.jl:23 (stack trace [13] below) is: > using LoadFlint
3. the build.log in E:\ProgramFiles\Julia.julia\packages\LoadFlint\o1S6V\deps is also blank.
   So it looks like LoadFlint is not building...
   (and the docs at https://github.com/oscar-system/LoadFlint.jl indicate the build is failing)
   Thoughts on how to facilitate precompilation?
   Thanks,

This is unrelated to Nemo and a known bug for julia 1.5.3 on Windows, see https://discourse.julialang.org/t/precompilation-error-with-julia-1-5-3-windows-10-64-bit/50028 and JuliaLang/julia#38411. I am afraid there is nothing we can do on our side to fix this. One option is to use julia 1.5.2 instead.

(The empty build.log files in the deps folders are a red herring. They are supposed to be empty on julia >= 1.3 due to a different handling of binary dependencies.)

Thank you!
Will look for resolution to noted bug and use 1.5.2 in the meantime.
