+ 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

+ <p>Added an optional <c>./configure</c> flag to compile
+ the emulator with spectre mitigation:

+ support for spectre mitigation and the
+ <c>--mindirect-branch=thunk</c> flag, such as
+ <c>8.1</c>.</p>
