"Few" buildfarm failures? It's probably going to fail on every 32-bit host.
TBH, I would just remove those test cases. Even if they were stable
across platforms, they don't directly prove anything at all about
whether the feature does what it's supposed to.
(Also, scaling the results to blocksize seems unlikely to help in
passing on different BLCKSZ configurations...)
