I tested these patches and while the code built for me and passed the
test suite on Debian testing I have a weird bug where the very first
query fails to JIT while the rest work as they should. I think I need to
dig into LLVM's codebase to see what it is, but can you reproduce this
bug at your machine?

Code to reproduce:

SET jit_expressions = true;
SET jit_above_cost = 0;
SELECT 1;
SELECT 1;

Output:

postgres=# SELECT 1;
ERROR: failed to jit module
postgres=# SELECT 1;
