Hi Mark

Good news.

No major things on the cards for me.

I've tested https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486398
I might reorder the case statements to put them in numerical order and 
also make some effort to understand the new opcodes and corresponding 
VEX. Do you think that you could also take a look at the diffs?

If https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290061 is clean with a try- push 
I'll merge that. It's probably more important for clang(++) which 
defaults to using PIE.

If I have the time to finish cleaning up regtest for 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390310 I'll push that as well.

After that, maybe some small cleanup for Illumos and arm64, time permitting.

A+
