Ah, thanks.  I was misled by

    http://www.gnu.org/software/dotgnu/libjit-doc/libjit_1.html 

(which is the first "External Link" suggested by Wikipedia).

Curiously, the README from the December 2008 release still says

    The latest version of libjit will always be available from the 
    Southern Storm Web site:

        http://www.southern-storm.com.au/libjit/

Ah, well.  It's a volunteer project.  I certainly have more than my share 
of stale websites.

It does seem to *require* gcc.  Specifically, my attempt to build the 
December 2008 release failed with

"jit-apply-rules.h", line 1: #error: "gcc is required to detect the apply 
rules"

Anyway, thanks for pointing out the correct link for the project.  I have 
no strong opionion here, beyond the generic "Look before you leap".
