Ok, my current solution is two test scripts, one for 64 bit and the other
one for 32 bit systems. I factored out the common stuff into a perl module.
The Makefile looks like this:

ifeq '$(findstring 64,$(ARCH_CLASS))' ''
TESTSCRIPTS_HOST += make_test.t
TESTSCRIPTS_CROSS += make_test.t
else
TESTSCRIPTS_HOST += make64_test.t
TESTSCRIPTS_CROSS += make64_test.t
endif

Works fine on 32 bit linux and windows; I will test this on 64 bit linux and
if that works, too, I think the sequencer is finally ripe for a 2.1.0
release candidate.

Cheers
Ben
