    jit: Changes for LLVM 17.

is reaching code that segfaults inside libLLVM, specifically in
llvm::InlineFunction(llvm::CallBase&, llvm::InlineFunctionInfo&, bool,
llvm::AAResults*, bool, llvm::Function*).  First obvious question
would be: is that NULL argument still acceptable?  Perhaps it wants
our LLVMTargetMachineRef there:

       err = LLVMRunPasses(module, passes, NULL, options);

But then when we see what is does with that argument, it arrives at a
place that apparently accepts nullptr.

Hrmph.  Might need an assertion build to learn more.  I'll try to look
again next week or so.
