Ah cool! I looked for something like this on a remote ubuntu system but
failed to figure it out by myself. Do you also have the other archs with
it ?

Great. And without sudo you should see two of them fail. I intend to
implement geteuid() and condition their result to it, that will be
sufficient for most cases. I'd rather avoid seeing users run test
programs under sudo actually, since they're run on the local system :-/

No, don't be sorry, quite the opposite, you taught us something useful!

Thank you!
