Keep it a first-rate supported architecture (different from Ruby's word "supported"),
run make test and make test-all is important.
By this, we can know there is a problem.
So run test with trunk or stable branch like ruby_1_9_2
and report a trouble if exists  is also a contribution.


I sometimes run make check on NetBSD current with amd64,
and know some segv problems; dl, fiddle, drb, and fiber.

So I run test-all like
   make RUBYOPT=-w TESTS='-v -x"dl/|fiddle/|drb/|fiber"' test-all|&tee t.log
And I get following result.

   1) Error:
test_server_session(OpenSSL::TestSSL):

     /home/naruse/ruby/test/openssl/test_ssl.rb:546:in `session='

   2) Failure:

Failed assertion, no message given.

   3) Error:

   4) Error:

2) and 3) are resolved in current trunk.
I don't know about 1).
4) is NetBSD's feature change, so I'll follow it when related discussion is closed.
