Comment (by rmottola):

 @ballapete yes, I have an intel 64bit laptop running 10.5, a rare
 combination, but works. Installed for mostly test purposes, but acts quite
 well. The computer could run 10.6, but I have anotherone with 10.6. I also
 have a 32bit 10.5 intel.
 So it is possible to test 10.5 without 32bit issues. While 10.5 is mostly
 used on old 32bit computer, a lot of software today is mainly programmed
 on 64bit.

 Said that, I see several kinds of warnings in the tessuite log:


 {{{
 ../../testsuite/libffi.bhaible/test-call.c:35: warning: unused parameter

 ../../testsuite/libffi.bhaible/test-call.c:87: warning: unused parameter

 }}}
 ... (repeated for dozens of lines)

 but also this which looks worse:
