Precompile failed for Gaius in Julia 1.8+

After trying to download BLASbenchmarkCPU, I eventually get this error:

Someone else reported this issue at their Github page: MasonProtter/Gaius.jl#91

Unfortunately, it looks as though the Gaius project has been abandoned by the author and likely will not be updated according to the Gaius README:

Note: Gaius is not actively maintained and I do not anticipate doing further work on it. However, you may find it useful as a relatively simple playground for learning about the implementation of linear algebra routines.
