Julia 1.9 on qemu-aarch64 docker segfaults whille importing Unitful

General Usage
1

I don’t know on which repo to report (Julia? Unitful.jl?) or what information is helpful, so I’ve put it here

I’ve started a aarch64 ubuntu docker container on x86 PC

podman run -ti --net=host --arch=arm64 --volume=./julia_arm64:/workdir ubuntu

then ran Julia

root@ifrit-hpc:/workdir/julia-1.9.0/bin# ./julia

The problem has not been resolved, but this does not appear to be a Unitful-specific issue.

ColorTypes.jl test shows no segfaults on Julia v1.6.7, v1.10, and v1.12.0-DEV.
