My guess is that it has nothing to do with supported instruction set.
ISTR glibc chooses "fastest optimized" version in runtime according to
what the machine supports.  And "optimized" versions are more prone to
trigger the undefined behavior that may be otherwise tolerated or
deterministic by less optimized siblings.

RPM is not an ABI checker or machine eligibility enforcing tool,
at least not at instruction set granularity.
