+ Fix bug in native compilation of bitstring pattern
+ matching causing erroneous runtime matching result. The
+ bug only affects code containing constant-valued segments
+ whose size is expressed in bits; it is triggered when the
+ pattern matching against these segments fails (i.e., when
+ the next clause needs to be tried).</p>

+ Workaround in HiPE LLVM backend for a bug in LLVM 3.9.

+ hipe_bifs:enter_sdecs/1, but also cause corruption or
+ segmentation faults i runtime.</p>
