Description

Bug Overview

Hello, this is not a bug per say, but the latest ubuntu release 26.04 Resolute, Nginx will not start and produces the error message "CPU ISA level lower than required". Seems the packages were compiled with the latest processors in mind and not backwards compatible with the older processors.

Expected Behavior

Expected behavior, be compatible with older hardware.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the nginx package installation and service start on Ubuntu 26.04 with the Xeon E3-1240V3 processor, then trace the package build configuration that determines the required CPU ISA level. Done means the stable repository package starts successfully on this older hardware without the "CPU ISA level lower than required" error.
