I tried working around the issue by patching stuff (either the shell, or
using the "test" utility), but I gave up after too many things to patch.

I guess the most appropriate would be to wait for the full x86_64
support from GNU mes, and if it persists, to open bugs to binutils,
gash, or whatever else uses the inbuilt "test" functionality of the shell.
