Oops.

Ah, yes, a line I had to add temporarily for the x86 compiler; I meant 
to take it out again.

    { INDEX_op_brcond_i32,      { "rJ", "rI" } },
    { INDEX_op_brcond_i64,      { "rJ", "rI" } },

The "I" constraint is supposed to have already limited the constant to 0 
.. 0xff.  You could put an assert there if you like, to make sure 
everything is going as it should.

It was a mis-statement made while tired.  Of course tcg_target_long is 
defined to int64_t when TCG_TARGET_REG_BITS == 64, so there was no 
truncation to 32 bits.

Have you tested of any of the other embedded targets?  You may be able 
to find the error with one of those easier than finding it emulating 
full-scale Windows.  See the images at the bottom of the QEMU download page.
