What is the status of LLVM nowadays? Is it not a good solution to write a portable JIT?

I don't think it is. It is still slow and memory hungry. The fact that the version that Apple ships with Xcode still miscompiles Python 3.3 tells me that it is still buggy.

I don't want to write my own library to generate machine code.

I plan to use nanojit.
