Description

On a machine with AMD processor, an "Illegal Instruction" error occurs directly on "import pyarrow", no further information is given.

The same setup works on other machines (all of which have various Intel processors). Happy to provide further details, not sure what's needed, any indication what could be the cause are welcome.

 

To reproduce:

```

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

bash Miniconda3_latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

pip install pyarrow -y

python -c "import pyarrow"

```
