I don’t think you need any further testing. The _highlightsByMask member is 
declared as NSInteger in NSButtonCell.h (which means 64 bits on x86-64 and 
ppc64) but unarchived as unsigned int in NSButtonCell.m (which means 32 bits) 
and big endian architectures as less forgiving on such mismatches.

The same applies to (at least) _showAltState mask.
