Description
The CI is failing on julia 1.8.1 for x86 with either a Segmentation fault or an LLVM memory error.
LLVM error example: https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ChainRules.jl/actions/runs/3087367821/jobs/4992664313
LLVM ERROR: out of memory
Allocation failed
signal (6): Aborted
in expression starting at /home/runner/work/ChainRules.jl/ChainRules.jl/test/rulesets/LinearAlgebra/symmetric.jl:1
__kernel_vsyscall at linux-gate.so.1 (unknown line)
gsignal at /lib32/libc.so.6 (unknown line)
abort at /lib32/libc.so.6 (unknown line)
Segmentation fault example: https://github.com/JuliaDiff/ChainRules.jl/actions/runs/3095156256/jobs/5009272412
Testing rulesets/LinearAlgebra/symmetric.jl:
signal (11): Segmentation fault
in expression starting at /home/runner/work/ChainRules.jl/ChainRules.jl/test/rulesets/LinearAlgebra/symmetric.jl:1
unknown function (ip: 0xf7ec43e0)
Both errors happen during the rulesets/LinearAlgebra tests.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked CI runs and reproducing the failure with Julia 1.8.1 on x86. Focus on the rulesets/LinearAlgebra tests, especially symmetric.jl, and compare the segmentation fault and LLVM out-of-memory traces. Done means these tests complete successfully in CI on Julia 1.8.1 without either failure.
