I thing i found the problem on x86_64.

The conversion to nfloat expects a jit_type_int in ste stackframe but
it's a sbyte. This causes the upper 3 bytes being random values.

The attached patch spills values with typesizes < 4 like ints to the
stackframe.
The x86_64 SysV abi doesn't mention if values passed to a function are
expanded to 4 or a bytes by the caller first (Only Bool is mentioned
explicitely).
So this might cause problems too.

Can you please try the attached patch if it fixes your problem?
