F-Droid build servers can't build modern Android apps due to outdated CPUs

I'm not even sure mainline Linux supports machines this old at this point. The cmpxchg16b instruction isn't that old, and I believe it's required now.

32 bit Linux is still supported by the kernel and Debian, Arch, and Fedora still supports baseline x86_64.

RHEL 8 is still supported and Ubuntu is still baseline x86_64 I believe for commercial distros. Not sure about SuSE.

32 bit Linux is still supported by the kernel... and... 'Debian, Arch, and Fedora still supports baseline x86_64'.

Please do not take things out of context.

CMPXCHG8B is required as of a month or two ago, not 16B (i.e., the version from the 90's is now required)

See https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/4/25/409
