Homebrew's Julia Build is not built correctly and causes package precompilation errors

[SvenDuve]

Hello,

I can't precompile DifferentialEquations pointing me to an issue with LinearSolve, and several other packages( Also not pre-compiling: StochasticDiffEq.jl, OrdinaryDiffEq.jl).

I was trying to add the package standalone, and got the following:

I am on Julia 1.8.5, just updated.

Many thanks.
