I am attempting to build Julia on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0. I'd tell you what git version I'm on (updated master branch today), but git status is hanging.

I re-ran make about 20 times because it kept exiting with uninformative errors, but then kept finding new targets to build. Finally I got stuck on:

fatal: reference is not a tree: a6d3d8f90f6177d782a5f6cc143e60216ccd3567
Unable to checkout 'a6d3d8f90f6177d782a5f6cc143e60216ccd3567' in submodule path 'deps/libuv'
make[2]: *** [libuv/Makefile] Error 1
make[1]: *** [julia-release] Error 2
make: *** [release] Error 2

Cheers,
Andrew
