It's quite bad the LLVM team dropped the old jit... I haven''t really looked into it but it might not be that hard to port it to the new MCJIT (see http://blog.llvm.org/2013/07/using-mcjit-with-kaleidoscope-tutorial.html). Hopefully the API for generating the code instructions are the same and they only changed the parts to define/create and optimize/compile a function.
