It is, it should.
At least for the **core** instruction set.
The "optional" core add-in units are not that forgiving.
For instance, if the co-process (or sub-processor) that does fast, hardware, multiple was not included in the cpu build ...
The main cpu will only throw a:
-EGIVEUPALLHOPE
sort of error code. (like this one
)
So the text of the error message might not be an exact description of what happened.
Getting an strace of the execution attempt would help refine the error message.
