Or not.  It looks like Vc enables AVX-2 and AVX-512 by default if it
believes the CPU should support it (by the CPU name), sadly that is not
the correct way to detect CPU features...  So some configurations now
abort with SIGILL.

I'll ask for the virtualization to enable AVX-2 and AVX-512 in the VM,
but we need to configure Vc to use some generic instruction set;
prebuilt binaries will otherwise not work everywhere which is a problem
for the CI Docker images among other things.
