Single Executable Application tests often fail on RISC-V

The SEA tests are failing in many cases. The symptoms are different depending on the hardware. Using a build of Node v25.2.2 I'm currently getting:

SIGILL on a TH1520 system with Xuantie C910 cores (RVV0.7 specification) (Built with gcc 14.2.0-ubuntu) (Potentiaily a highway issue)
SIGSEGV on a SpacemiT-K1 (RVV1.0 but with a 6.1 kernel. Built with gcc 14.2.0-debian)

I have had a build pass SEA tests under qemu on an x64 host, but nowhere near consistently enough to justify not excluding it.

Noting that the The SIGILL/SIGSEGV also occurs in v22.x which doesn't use highway.

I'll add to those results as I get more details.

Noting that the SIGILL goes away on the TH1520 boards with the highway patch referenced in nodejs/build#4099 (comment) however it still gives a SIGSEGV.

Maybe #61167 could make the SIGSEGV go away on RISC-V, though I don't have a board to test it..

Hmmm first attempt with the branch in that PR didn't pass sadly but it'll be interesting to see if it's failing in exactly the same way ...

[process 3960824]: status = null, signal = SIGSEGV
/home/sxa/node/test/common/child_process.js:112
    throw error;
    ^

hmm, well I guess at least when #61167 lands it would be easier to debug and find out why instead of jumping through a WASM blob to debug..

This issue has been marked as stale due to 90 days of inactivity.
It will be automatically closed in 30 days if no further activity occurs. If this is still relevant, please leave a comment or update it to keep it open.

Still valid I believe, although it possibly requires retesting with the latest builds.

This may be related to nodejs/build#4433 (comment) and #65564
