+ LINUX_DEFAULT was switched to "rl9" which correspons to the Rocky Linux 9 base.
+ All architectures except i386 are affected. To stay on the old base add
+ DEFAULT_VERSIONS=linux=c7 to your /etc/make.conf
+
+ Note that some older amd64 hardware (pre-Nehalem) might not support the
+ instruction set that is targeted by Rocky Linux builders. If you're getting
+ SIGILL crashes when running Linux apps consider switching LINUX_DEFAULT back
+ to "c7".
