The test-cpu-limit failures are a bit annoying. Probably has something to do with overloaded VMs. Maybe we need to just disable those failing asserts entirely since they seem to pop up once in a while.

These probably have something to do with big endian CPUs. Would need to debug further:

[  762s] test-mail-cache-fields.c:50: Assert failed: cache_field.last_used == priv->field.last_used && cache_field.decision == priv->field.decision
[  762s] test-mail-cache-fields.c:65: Assert failed: cache_field.last_used == priv->field.last_used && cache_field.decision == priv->field.decision
[  762s] test-mail-cache-fields.c:94: Assert failed: cache_field.last_used == priv->field.last_used && cache_field.decision == priv->field.decision

This seems to happen because setrlimit(RLIMIT_AS) is somehow not working as expected in the RISCV target - not sure what could be done about that other than disabling the test entirely:

[ 9496s] test-file-cache.c:266: Assert failed: file_cache_set_size(cache, 1024) == -1
[ 9496s] Panic: file test-common.c: line 211 (test_expect_error_string_n_times): assertion failed: (expected_errors == 0)
