Linux rl9 and AVX warning

[YuryG]

I've tried to install emulators/linux_base-rl9 as recommended in the handbook, but near the end of installation it gives warning about absence of AVX2-something on my system. It is critical, and won't work for me, isn't it?
I considered to install emulators/linux_base-c7 instead.

AVX2 is a set of CPU instructions, you must have a pre-Haswell CPU?

Normally I'd say it's a build/compiler option that can be changed in order to compile code without using those instructions. But in this case nothing is compiled, the port installs binary packages from RockyLinux itself.

Yes, I have an older CPU. So, I was right backing with Centos port. Luckily FreeBSD doesn't impose such requirements on newer hardware like even Linux distributions do today.

Is Rocky's minimum CPU documented somewhere?

They have, x86-64-v2 now for version 9.
(And ARM8-A in 64bit version among others.)
(Unlike Ubuntu, which still requires just x86-64 processor, and on the other hand RHEL10 requires even x86-64-v3.) But I haven't seen this information on FreeBSD ports' tree.

P.S. x86-64-v2 requires only AVX, not AVX2. Have I really seen AVX2 warning?
