GLMakie and Plots fail to precompile under Julia 1.8.4

I used procmon Process Monitor - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn to have a look what happens on startup .

I set filters as

  • “Process Name” “contains” “julia”
  • “Operation” “is” “CreateFile”
  • “Path” “contains” “dll”
    image

Julia was started as

  • julia +1.8.3 --startup-file=no (=v1.8.3)
  • julia --startup-file=no (=release=v1.8.4)

Filtered logs are in the gist procmon output of Julia v1.8.3 and Julia v1.8.4 startup on Windows · GitHub

Looks like on 1.8.3, libssp-0.dll is loaded when libLLVM-13jl.dll gets loaded, but not on 1.8.4.
