certainly with 6.9 binaries it is the case (e.g. reported
[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-support/C1eENI3yrtw/b5ChRoJkAQAJ
today on sage-support]). There were also very entertaining bugs like this
reported by someone with a Mac box having a non-standard (upgraded?)
CPU...
Don't recall about 7.1/2 right now.
By the way: [http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/faq/faq-
usage.html#i-downloaded-a-sage-binary-and-it-crashes-on-startup-with-
illegal-instruction-what-can-i-do faq-usage] says: **Nobody has yet
figured out how to build Sage in such a way that MPIR and ATLAS work on
all hardware.**
> In any case, such things should be fixed on a case-by-case basis, I
don't think that there is a general fix possible. So I still think that
this ticket should be closed.
