Attached is a patch that disables the tests on all systems but
x86_64-linux. I'm unsure about the indentation, though. Should the
compared string really be aligned with the arguments of `(or' (as shown
above), or rather aligned with `(or', the argument to `(string=?' (as in
the attached patch)?

systems because of an upstream bug in the test data.
