while it would be neat if it automagically tested each built architecture,
no-one implemented this yet.  One problem is that there are so many variants,
for example x86 with or without SSE2, SSE3, AVX etc, so even if you ran them
for every architecture your test coverage wouldn't be complete.

Ciao, Duncan.
