If this is a (semi)permanent issue, would it not be better to actually
patch in the disabling of this test into the test sources, i.e. if ARM64
have the test return TEST_SKIPPED?

There is at least one more issue I am aware of with this set - the failing
mempool tests - which needs to be fixed, so there will be at least one more
version.

If this is likely a common occurrance where we need to disable one
particular test for a particular platform, would it be worth designing such
a feature into the rework. For example, it should be fairly easy to have
the testname-extraction script read a blocklist from the environment, and
omit informing meson of those test cases. Would that work?
