>Description:
The test in
src/tests/lib/libc/string/t_popcount.c
is a very expensive test. It is good to have, but you can't afford to run
it on every test run (it takes multiple hours on a fast amd64 machine,
go fiugre and extrapolate to something like m68k).
It is good to have this complete test, but since there is no way to tell
ATF "no expensive tests right now, please" (which should be the default),
I'm going to disable it for now.

FWIW, I think the test is ridiculous. Exhaustive tests are a copout
and they don't accomplish anything much anyway over better tests.
