When diagnosing this issue, some sources point to the possibility of an architecture mismatch, i.e. we generate code that assumes a particular instruction is available, and if said instruction isn't available we get a
SIGILLand theILLEGALerror from CTest we've seen. Without--iree-llvmcpu-target-cpu=hostIREE will not attempt to use any advanced CPU arch features making an arch mismatch impossible. If we see the sameILLEGALerror without the--iree-llvmcpu-target-cpu=hostflag, we can be reasonably assured that arch mismatch isn't the culprit.
