cannot create system image

See original GitHub issue

To counter the problem of statically linked Python, I tried to compile the custom system image, however, got this just now

I am having exactly the same problem. Removed the precompilation files as suggested above, but this did not help. Also removed the whole ~/.julia and started from scratch, but got the same error.
