For the record, I first tested this with the LONG_IS_32BIT flag forced to
`true` so that the date tests must fail. They did fail as expected (search
for "not ok" in this output):
https://travis-ci.org/git/git/jobs/206199002
(I actually cannot see the log right now, Travis seems to be under heavy
load...)
A much cleaned up version that does not force that LONG_IS_32BIT produced
this log:
https://travis-ci.org/git/git/jobs/206228708
(Same here, my browser fails to load the log, probably because Travis
experiences quite high a load...)
Please note that this approach is not without problems. It would appear
that Travis currently has serious problems to even *reach* the Docker Hub,
and therefore cannot download the Docker image:

Ciao,
