Please post v3: one issue I had turned out to be due to a misconfiguration
causing some of the tests to run out of memory.

The other issue is with the X32 ABI: that is currently failing, with or
without your series. I'm not sure why yet, from what I remember this worked fine
last time I tested. But my memory may be faulty, since it is so long ago.
