You are of course you were right. The problem was rather more trivial...

Since the distro is based on RHEL9 and glibc was blowing because qemu 
wasn't advertising AVX-AES and this has become mandatory for RHEL9. I 
only figured this out when I used RHEL9's systemd as an init process and 
saw it was blowing in glibc while loading the initrd. Posting in case 
someone else runs into something similar...
