I don't follow this.  You say above that the test is only relevant on GNU/Linux
and not Solaris and Windows.  AIUI, GNU/Linux builds always result in either
a 32-bit VM or a 64-bit VM depending on the platform (x86 or x86_64).  How would you ever
get anything other than a 64-bit VM on x86_64?  Are there build options for this?
