I'm thinking something table-driven would be better; no user input
should be needed for a test case.  How about a table like this?

struct {
  char *input_string;
  int base; /* 
  int expected_endp; /* index into string */
  unsigned char expected_value[8];
  int expected_errno;
} tests[] = {
  { "0", 0, 1, { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, 0 },
  { "10x", 8, 2, { 0x08, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, 0 },
  /* etc */
  { 0, 0, 0, { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }, 0 }
}

We could have one table for each function (strtol, strtoul, strtoll,
strtoull) and pass the table, function, and size of result (4 or 8) to
a common "test this" function.

The function should print nothing and exit(0) if they all pass, else
print a diagnostic and exit(1) if any fail.
