MongoDB: Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I installed MongoDB from the AUR and ran makepkg with no special configuration or flags.  The compilation outputted a lot of warnings, but no errors, and I was able to install the resulting zst; however, attempting to start the systemd service, or run the mongo command result in:

Illegal instruction (core dumped)

with no other output.  Has anyone seen this with MongoDB and managed to fix the issue?  Are there compiler flags I need to add?  How might I debug the issue?

coredumpctl list

No coredumps found.

The process doesn't run, so there is nothing to which gdb would attach.

MongoDB 5+ requires AVX. If you're on a CPU that doesn't have that, you need to use MongoDB 4.4.

What if you disable sandybridge optimization?
