FWIW, my procedure for handling updates in regression tests that have
multiple expected variants is to apply the same diff that occurs on the
machines I can test to the variants I can't test. It's possible that
this will be wrong, but 99% of the time it's right and it saves followup
work.
An easy way to apply such changes is to feed a default-format diff
output to patch(1):
diff test.myplatform.orig test.myplatform | patch
patch then bleats about not knowing which file to patch, and you
tell it "test.otherplatform". Works every time ...
