Unhandled SIGILL on Debian Testing

[Eric Culver]

I am running Debian Testing (Stretch). I downloaded the binaries for sage from http://www.sagemath.org/download.html .
Whenever I try to run Sage, it produces to following error:

Unhandled SIGILL: An illegal instruction occurred.
This probably occurred because a *compiled* module has a bug
in it and is not properly wrapped with sig_on(), sig_off().
Python will now terminate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Illegal instruction

Along with a long list of Python libraries.
The full (edited for privacy) error output is attached.

The FAQs page at https://wiki.sagemath.org/faq#Other_questions claims to have a solution, but this solution makes no sense.
The "rm" removes nothing (in fact the folder "spkg" doesn't even exist) and the "make" makes more than just ATLAS and MPIR.

the binary you use has instructions not understood by your CPU. 

This is (almost) fixed in the recent beta, I think here: https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/21850

and here https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/21772
