Sounds a bit similar to an issue I ran into a while ago (if the problem appears when you have a shared depot and precompile certain things on a different machine compared to where you run the code). Maybe the discussion there is helpful:

> Hi! I’m using Julia 1.9 on an HPC cluster and ran into a strange error on some of the machines. I have a hunch that it’s related to native code caching and the fact that I currently use the same depot for all machines, but I’m a bit stuck investigating the actual issue and finding a good solution. Problem Running certain code on the affected machines gives an Illegal instruction error. So far I could only trigger the error when using Cthulhu.jl, but I’m not sure if it’s really related to that p…

The bottom line is exactly what @mkitti wrote above.
