One of the issues is, if not you, then gambas doesn't really have a
Debian "maintainer". I'm happy to help, but I'm wary of doing a lot of
work without a debian developer active and interested. in the past I
have had contributions sitting in alioth git waiting for weeks/months
to be uploaded.
(unfortunately debian does not have an equivalent to "launchpad" for
making third-party .debs available)

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.

I'm afraid you are the only person who can do that. :-)

I have looked at the new JIT api of gcc a few months ago. It was simpler 
(for me, no C++), but it was not finished.

By the way, do you have any idea about bug #833?
