With the upside being that it will run on all hardware supported by the `amd64` target.\n\nIn my own testing on an AMD A10-7850k, the current Debian build failed with the following error when started from the CLI:\n\n`Illegal instruction`\n\nWhen rebuilt with `-DARCH=default -DNO_AES=ON` it ran without problem.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sorenstoutner","@type":"Person","name":"sorenstoutner"},"datePublished":"2025-12-15T22:06:03.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/278/feather/issues/278"}
