This thread reminded me to go try and rebuild numba. it looks like
0.59.1 will build with unstable on x86_64 now.

0.60.0 needs numpy >=2.0 to <2.1.


Upstream recommended a patch to llvm-toolchain-14 to deal with some
segfaults that I asked to have merged, but it seems open?

I can try uploading 0.59.1 and seeing if that's gotten any better, but
I think we need some updates to llvm.
