ERROR: Unable to find compatible target in system image. on server with Intel Xenon CPU

Dear all,
I encounter a strange issue with starting any julia process on a remote server with the following oputput for lscpu

$ lscpu

I have downloaded the generic julia binaries locally and added the MKL.jl package and built it with the package manager.
Afterwards I get the following output:

$ julia -v
julia version 1.4.1
$ julia
ERROR: Unable to find compatible target in system image.

To check, I downloaded the generic binaries again without adding MKL.jl and I can start the REPL:

$ julia2/julia-1.4.1/bin/julia

Please reopen if an issue in Julia 1.7 and later.
