Description Sam James archtester

Building Perl with 32-bit ints (the default, at least for now, upstream) causes issues like bug 934443.

We can ask Perl to give us 64-bit int types on 32-bit systems by passing -Duse64bitint.

https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/21551#issuecomment-1755974997 implies we should probably do it and upstream may even change default.

    dev-util/diffoscope: skip tests relying on zipdetails for 32-bit systems
    
    We need to fix this in Perl itself, see bug #934444. Note that this worked
    fine before newer zipdetails landed in Perl (https://github.com/pmqs/zipdetails/pull/7).
