Description
cargo-binstall, which uses gix v0.50.1 and depends on libz-ng get killed by illegal instructions on this CI and also this one:
+ ./cargo-binstall binstall --force --git file:///tmp/tmp.iyk2axDWcq --no-confirm cargo-binstall
INFO resolve: Resolving package: 'cargo-binstall'
INFO Cloning::receiving pack: Enumerating objects → 3.0 objects
git.sh: line 39: 24033 Illegal instruction (core dumped) "./$1" binstall --force --git "file://$GIT" --no-confirm cargo-binstall
I disabled the flate2/zlib-ng and it fixed the issue.

Research direction
Begin at git.sh line 39 and reproduce the illegal instruction using the linked CI jobs on the x86_64 musl and GNU targets. Compare the failing configuration with the reported workaround of disabling flate2/zlib-ng; done means the affected cargo-binstall workflow no longer crashes with an illegal instruction.
