I don't know if this section is still valid. I don't have machines with
these architectures. How do I check?

This should also mention that #:parallel-tests? is now gone.

Digging around in the ChangeLog might give some hints. If nothing is
mentioned, I would just assume the status quo.

For aarch64 in particular, I suppose you could ping Efraim on IRC.

From digging around gsl's bug reports it looked like the devs there
don't have access to some of those machines either, or access to enough
of them to make sure the code works on different hardware.

Unfortunately it still fails on my machine, with the first failure still
on the linalg directory. Its on my things to do list to try to fix some
of the tests but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Noted. I'll add this before pushing.

In that case, shall I just assume status quo with respect to tests on
these machines and push this patch?

Yeah, I'm not going to have time to work on it for quite a while.
