+	    Fixed bug in operator <c>band</c> of two negative
+	    operands causing erroneous result if the absolute value
+	    of one of the operands have the lowest <c>N*W</c> bits as
+	    zero and the other absolute value is not larger than
+	    <c>N*W</c> bits. <c>N</c> is an integer of 1 or larger
+	    and <c>W</c> is 32 or 64 depending on word size.</p>

+	    <p>Added an optional <c>./configure</c> flag to compile
+	    the emulator with spectre mitigation:
+	    <c>--with-spectre-mitigation</c></p>
+	    <p>Note that this requires a recent version of GCC with
+	    support for spectre mitigation and the
+	    <c>--mindirect-branch=thunk</c> flag, such as
+	    <c>8.1</c>.</p>
