Ah, thanks for reporting this.

Should not taken the address directly, does the following fix resolved the
failure?

        ALU_ARSH_X:
                DST = (u64) (u32) ((s32) DST) >> SRC);
                CONT;
        ALU_ARSH_K:
                DST = (u64) (u32) ((s32) DST) >> IMM);
                CONT;
