That *is* the CPU check.  :P

This is actually a frequently encountered problem when getting
liboil backtraces.  Please use the command 'handle SIGILL nostop
noprint' before running the program in gdb (or just continue when
you get a SIGILL, which should only happen once).  Chances are that
you did find a bug (quite possibly in liboil), but this backtrace
doesn't correspond to it.

In the next few releases, I'm going to have to find a way to
avoid this in gdb, because it seems to come up a lot.  Or at
least document it clearly and have the patience to nicely point
it out to people.
