But I don't want to test 32 shifts on *all* targets. I just wanted it
on targets where a register is 32 bits wide. And yes I completely
forgot to limit the testcase to those. I'll restrict the testcase to
ilp32 targets. Although this doesn't mean that a register is always 32
bit it at least disables the testcase for targets where it would fail.

Yes I know and since it isn't easy to express a 128 bit integer data
type the testcase should be disabled for 64bit targets as well.
