[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] Commented: (ASTERISK-20128) Virtualized asterisk.org 1.8.14.0 no longer runs in a KVM virtualized environment. Compiles without error, but fails with Illegal instruction on launch Regression since 1.8.13.0 Last good 1.8.12.2

Ward Mundy commented on ASTERISK-20128:
---------------------------------------

Matt, I would say the Top 3 VM platforms for us are probably VMware, Xen, and Proxmox. But people use all sorts of different hardware with a variety of processors from Intel, AMD, et al. Would it make more sense to peel off the old detection code and make it a separate (optional and unsupported-by-Digium) loadable module. Perhaps then some group other than Digium could pick up the maintenance ball going forward without losing all of the good work you guys already have put into this??
