Compilation on Linux fails

[astrozot]

PackageCompiler AOT compilation fails with VectorizationBase on x86_64 when using the default portable CPU target.

Environment:

• Linux x86_64, Intel Xeon Gold 5120 (Skylake-SP, AVX-512)
• Julia 1.13.0; also reproduced with Julia 1.12.7
• current VectorizationBase
• current PackageCompiler

A normal Julia/JIT session works.

Minimal package:

Project.toml:

name = "VBAOTTest"
uuid = "a9bc8f41-f73d-4d89-b50e-5e279b86c421"
version = "0.1.0"

[deps]
VectorizationBase = "3d5dd08c-fd9d-11e8-17fa-ed2836048c2f"

src/VBAOTTest.jl:

module VBAOTTest
using VectorizationBase

function julia_main()::Cint
    println("VBAOTTest")
    return 0
end

end

The following code then fails:

using PackageCompiler

create_app(
    pwd(),
    joinpath(pwd(), "build");
    executables = ["vbtest" => "julia_main"],
    incremental = true,
    force = true,
)

The error message is

LLVM ERROR: Cannot select:
    ... = X86ISD::RCP14 ...
In function: julia_inv_approx_...

with the source pointing to VectorizationBase/src/llvm_intrin/intrin_funcs.jl.

These are the results of some experiments with different configurations:

• default PackageCompiler cpu_target -> FAIL
• cpu_target="generic" -> FAIL
• cpu_target="skylake-avx512" -> SUCCESS

Removing the precompile workload from the original application does not change the failure.
