I don't understand what you mean by "correctly."  What's your correctness spec?

I don't think there's some consistent semantics of "offsets" across
the JITs of different architectures (maybe it's good to clean that
up).  RV64 and RV32 JITs are doing something similar to arm64 with
respect to offsets.  CCing Björn and Luke.
