Call arity has improved T1969, T876, T7954, T3294 and T5631 (so the
change for 32bit is expected, just update the numbers to what your
computer says) and T3924 was added by my without 32bit numbers (so add
your numbers, after adding the usual bitness-switch). Also T4267 is
lacking 32-bit numbers.

Generally, you might want to run "git blame" on the all.T-files and see
if there was a recent change to the 64 bit numbers in the same direction
than the change you are observing, and in that case simply update the
numbers accordingly.


Maybe when changing the 64-bit number we should have a way of marking
the i386 as likely out of date, so that the next person on 32bit will
see a message „Number changed, but that’s expected, so please just
update all.T“.

Greetings,
Joachim
