Description of bug

After an upgrade of the dependencies of our node implementation from substrate polkadot-v0.9.25 to polkadot-v0.9.26, our nodes do not start up on some machines. The following error message is shown:

Cannot create a runtime error=Other("cannot create module: compilation settings are not compatible with the native host")

In this issue, it is mentioned that the problem could come from virtualization, which is indeed the case here (we are using a fully virtualized test infrastructure). Running the same executable on a bare metal machine does not produce the problem which enforces the hypothesis.

A workaround is to pass the option --wasm-execution interpreted-i-know-what-i-do, then the nodes start up as usual and everything works as expected.

The issue above suggests that the problem is coming from wasmtime which has been upgraded to 0.38.x end of June. Maybe that another upgrade would help?

Steps to reproduce

1. Build this version of our node
2. Run it in a qemu VM with --dev flag
3. The node does not start and an error message is displayed
