Linux steam client - Illegal Instruction
Looks like there was an update on 3/5/22 which broke my Linux steam client. Running Devuan 3 (Debian 10 based). It's run fine for years. This is the first time things have hosed up. I can get the main UI running, but Store, Library, Friends tabs -- none show any content. Big Picture mode works and "small" mode too, but Friends -> Online never goes online and I can't get to the Friends & Chat menu. The messages below keep repeating in the console window where Steam was launched. Any way to fix?

What is your CPU? Illegal instruction means the CPU encountered an instruction it doesn't understand.
