Thanks in advance for looking at this :)

Just one more note:

If we actually end up doing something like this after all, we should
use a blacklist approach, excluding architectures where we know the
test fails, rather than a whitelist approach such as the one
presented here.

Case in point, the above excludes a bunch of architectures where the
tests work fine on account of their 64-bitness: ppc64, riscv64 and
s390x.
