Looks good; thanks.  And thanks for extending the test suite!

P.S.  I wish we could factor those ifdefs into the assembler.  It would be possible (as it is on SPARC) if x86_32 allowed 64-bit values in one register.  Perhaps there's a way to hide the distinction between a movq and two movl's (along with the tagged-stack-interpreter stuff) in an assembler macro.  I think it would require an ADT which encapsulates either a single 64-bit reg or a pair of 32-bit regs (depending in CPU mode).  That's not worth the effort.

But on SPARC, we should expect to have fewer ifdefs.
