Use a more inclusive architecture

[penguian]

Yesterday I encountered the following error having to do with git commit signing when running a local job from Cylc 8 on the persistent server cylc.pcl851.tm70.ps.gadi.nci.org.au:

$ grep -B 1 'signal 4' ~/cylc-run/u-dq819.esm1p6_ancil/run11/log/job/1/HI_git_commit_push/NN/job.err
+ git commit -m 'CMIP7 forcing update to test-cmip7-historical+concentrations'
error: /g/data/vk83/apps/spack/0.22/release/linux-rocky8-x86_64_v4/gcc-14.1.0/openssh-9.8p1-srryuoi3qbdh2jo6kptsqodjz3fj7e64/bin/ssh-keygen died of signal 4

This is because of the linux-rocky8-x86_64_v4 target. The server has

model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz

The version of ssh-keygen from the payu/1.2.0 module does not have this problem.

In addition, I am seeing:

$ grep 'signal 4' ~/cylc-run/u-dq819.esm1p6_ancil/run19/log/job/1/HI_git_commit_push/NN/job.err
error: /g/data/vk83/apps/spack/0.22/release/linux-rocky8-x86_64_v4/gcc-14.1.0/gh-2.43.1-qg3yh3qyl2nox4fhoixo6puzqvqel5lm/bin/gh auth git-credential get died of signal 4

Please change the architecture used in the Spack builds for system-tools to one that will run on all current Gadi nodes including the persistent ones.

This issue has been mentioned on ACCESS Hive Community Forum. There might be relevant details there:

This is impacting users abilities to use the terminal for git functions in ARE (common when doing analysis) - so we should fix asap

Thank you @penguian and @anton-seaice.
I think these changes might be required for all system tools, because the x86_64_v4 target will have the same incompatibilities for some systems on Gadi (for example all Broadwell queues).

#17 works now on Broadwell.

I don't know if setting x86_64 is the best approach (and make the change in all packages?)

Or change a default somewhere ?

[anton-seaice]

#17 has resolved this for gh and openssh and NOT for other packages.
