Excellent.  :-)

This branch is built already:
<https://ci.guix.gnu.org/jobset/julia-upgrade>.

> From my numbers, ~230 Julia packages fail.  Over ~300 packages.

To be clear, the build failures here have to do with JULIA_LOAD_PATH or
JULIA_DEPOT_PATH somehow not being set to the right value.  (That’s why
roughly packages with no dependency other than Julia build fine, while
those that depend on other julia-* packages fails to build.)

I’ve rebased the branch and added debugging helpers I was using.

Protip: when fiddling with the ‘julia’ package, use
‘--without-tests=julia’.  :-)

HTH!

Ludo’.
