Ok, no immediate known way to fix it.  You could try showing us the
output of

./gforth-ditc --die-on-signal --debug-mcheck -p .:~+:. -i kernl64l.fi exboot.fs 
startup.fs arch/arm64/asm.fs arch/arm64/disasm.fs

at that point, but my guess is that it will be hard to fix without us
working directly on such a box.  I think we have access to such a box,
but it will take a few days.
