Title:
  Python stop to work on do-release-upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 with
  "Illegal instruction"

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu version: 12.04
  Package version: happens with python 2.7.2 and python 2.7.3, not tried other versions
  Is expected that python runs normally and all commands that depend of it, including apt related ones, too, but instead, all fail with Illegal Instruction.

  This is a bug while upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 in a Ubuntu Server.

  The issue hapenned while running do-release-upgrade.

  The server is a python application server running many instances of
  Django sites, so python was working before issue.

  Now details.

  The do-release-upgrade at end of process give me the following error
  message:

  Errors were encountered while processing:
   python2.7-minimal
   python2.7
   python2.7-dev
   libpython2.7
   vim
   vim-nox

  Python fail on execution:

  Illegal instruction

  lsb_release fails as any package that depends of Python:

  $ lsb_release
  Illegal instruction

  $ do-release-upgrade
  Illegal instruction

  Thinking that issue is in python I tried to compile from zero, but
  ends on that error when running make:

  /bin/sh: line 1: 13008 Illegal instruction     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/src/Python-2.7.3: CC='gcc -pthread' LDSHARED='gcc -pthread -shared ' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes' ./python -E ./setup.py build
  make: *** [sharedmods] Error 132

  Python works if run without import site (option -S), but when import
  site from python shell same error happens:
