Currently, wasm32 compilation is treated as a 32bit target with support only
for 32bit guests. 64bit guest support would require additional patches to
TCG, as discussed in the earlier attempt.
(e.g.
https://patchew.org/QEMU/[email protected]/).
As an alternative approach, there is a patch set for 64bit compilation
support using wasm64 target, which doesn't require the additional TCG
patches. QEMU can still run on wasm32 engines (e.g. Safari) by relying on
the Emscripten's feature to lower the output binary to wasm32.

I've rebased this series on the recent tree yesterday.
