So it's t/65-seg_size.t again.

"Again" because this test already has a patch to be skipped on 32bit 
platforms, which was adopted upstream in the new release (at a 
slightly different position in the renamed tests but with the same 
effect).

That means that I don't expect any improvement by the new upstream 
release at first sight.

Now we either need to find out what's different on loong64 (staring 
at the output of `perl -V' didn't show anything obvious to me) or we 
can skip the test (in general or on loong64).

Oh, good to know, and thanks for the offer.
