Description

I have a system running Linux on an old AMD Athlon™ II X2 250 Processor (in case it matters). In a test environment I installed Python 3.10.1, pyarrow 6.0.1 and numpy 1.22.0.

The problem

Calling just a simple

import pyarrow

Results on a dead python interpreter (exit code 132) with the output

[1]    28245 illegal hardware instruction (core dumped)  python

 

I have attached the backtrace gdb provides based on the core dump.
