This is great. I used to support an line of Linux-based realtime audio products, and our engineers wanted me to include Scipy in the internal developer builds.

This is great. I used to support an line of Linux-based realtime audio products, and our engineers wanted me to include Scipy in the internal developer builds. It turned out to be a really tough ask, because of Scipy's build system. The result was a tech-debt blemish on an otherwise excellent codebase. Scipy is very, very hard to cross-compile. Like, almost impossible. I eventually had to compile it on-target and store the outputs for inclusion in later images. Distutils in general is wretched at cross-compilation tasks, should be retired.
