According to the docs, passing "--enable-jit" will cause the compilation
to fail on platforms not supported by their JIT, so we might have to
make that flag conditional in the future.  However, the build and test
suite passed on MIPS, and they support ARM as well, so I think it'll be
fine for the foreseeable future.
