Thanks for trying this.  I'm very ill so I haven't been able to look
into this code.  I will when I'm able.

Also I'm about 1/4 of the way through converting it to use gcc-jit, so
we can see how well that works.

I built my own libjit with debuginfo and IIRC that was good enough for
normal things.

For stack traces through JIT code, you need the gdb unwinder I wrote.
It hasn't been checked in to libjit yet:

I only made this work for x86-64 but porting it shouldn't be too hard.
