That amounts to dropping x32 support because as soon as we remove these
tests, it will bitrot.

There is still some value in the project being able to support
different architectures and different type sizes so I do still lean
towards keeping this alive at a minimal level.
But then why not replace x32 with riscv32, which as well has 32 bit
pointers but 64 bit integers and thus trips over the same type size
issues?
