Eventually after some discussions with Daniel, I've started working on a more comprehensive change to lit for adding a SUBTEST  feature. An initial patch has already been reviewed by Daniel and I hope to have a fixed patch in the next few days. Once that's in lit, we'll be able to leverage this new functionality to cleanly run ExecutionEngine tests on both JIT and MCJIT with the same test file, without a need for duplication.
