PIO no longer works on Raspberry Pi after 4.0 upgrade

I have been using PlatformIO with a Raspberry Pi Zero W for building and uploading Arduino sketches. I was previously on a 3.x version and it was working fine, but I decided to update to the latest and greatest version 4.0. When I try and build a project now it always fails. It is always some sort of internal compiler error: Illegal instruction no matter what kind of build it is. I don’t know how to cleanly downgrade to the old version I was using and am wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to fix this. This has completely put my projects at a standstill. Any help is appreciated.

Hi @keerl! New toolchain introduced in 3.7.0 version might be the problem. Could you please try to roll back to the previous version of the platform?

[env:arduino_build]
platform = atmelsam@3.6.1
framework = arduino
board = mzeroUSB
