 I think this array should fit into a buffer of size 4,
 even on a 64-bit platform:

 {{{
 >>> import struct
 >>> struct.calcsize('=l')
 4
 >>> ndarray(buffer=bytearray(4), shape=[1], dtype="=l")
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 TypeError: buffer is too small for requested array


 >>> ndarray(buffer=bytearray(8), shape=[1], dtype="=l")
 array([0])
 }}}
