| If you get a SIGILL (exit code 132), then your CPU is incompatible with the optimized build |

I guess this concept also applies to "Build from Source" as well. I notice it doesn't have any info about portability.
I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to address that here.

It shouldn't apply to source builds unless the user forces ADX on by bypassing the makefile, or moves a binary from an ADX machine to a non-ADX one. For now I'm in favour of merging ASAP, and we can add a note later if people run into it

## Issue Addressed Closes #1842 ## Proposed Changes Due to the lies told to us by VPS providers about what CPU features they support, we are forced to check for the availability of CPU features like ADX by just _running code and seeing if it crashes_. The prominent warning should hopefully help users who have truly incompatible CPUs work out what is going on, while not burdening users of cheap VPSs.
