This is rather a side effect of the test because the primary reason
was to check procfs numbers conversion, right? Don't get me wrong,
I don't mind about __arm__ define or similar, this is fine for
one architecture, but if there comes more we will get a number
of #ifdefs which is unrelated to procfs numeric routines at all.
