Dear Maintainer,

Various integer tests fail.  See build log:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libffi-platypus-perl&arch=hppa&ver=2.08-1&stamp=1696034524&raw=0

More details are available in this upstream issue:
https://github.com/PerlFFI/FFI-Platypus/issues/394

There is a partial fix but the t/type_sint64.t and t/type_uint64.t fail.
This might be due to incorrect casts.

Regards,
Dave Anglin
