I’d like to propose making debug builds of Julia available on [some of the] Tier 1 platforms, at least for nightly. When I’ve encountered segfaults in the past, I’ve occasionally bitten the bullet and built it myself. It’s a big time sink to build a debug build of master compared to just downloading a debug build of master.

I took a look at [https://build.julialang.org](https://build.julialang.org) in case I was missing it.
