This is not going to work on systems that don't have AVX2, you need to create a variant of https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/blob/develop/easybuild/easyconfigs/r/RAxML/RAxML-8.2.13-gompi-2023a-standard.eb with a newer toolchain

Actually, this is a case where I think we should diverge from the "same modules everywhere" goal.

The AVX2 variant of RAxML is definitely worth installing for x86_64 CPUs, but clearly doesn't make any sense for aarch64.

So we should install "fake" modules for the latter, and get them to produce a meaningful error to explain why that installation is not available on aarch64 targets?

I don't think we need to make this exception, we need a better easyconfig. For example, https://github.com/stamatak/standard-RAxML/blob/master/Makefile.HYBRID.gcc has the mechanism to support both x86 and Arm, we should really be using that.

PR for this particular case in easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#23975

RAxML does seem to have some intrinsics available, but the specific code targeted Haswell and hasn't been touched in 10 years, I think a native CPU compilation is a reasonable option
