[LLVMdev] Any way get debug output of generated assembly from MCJIT	without completely redoing CodeGen?

Hello all,
I'm trying to hack MCJIT::emitObject to optionally output the corresponding text assembly associated with the object code being emitted (if a debug flag is set in the app/dev environment which is hosting LLVM).
I attempted to do this by adding another AsmPrinter pass to the PassManager, but this runs into all sorts of problems because there's only once MCContext and one MachneModuleInfo pass maintaining various state information (MCSections, MCSymbols, etc.) and the two AsmPrinter passes interfere with each other.
The only way I've been able to get this to work is to create an entirely separate PassManager, and use addPassesToEmitFile() on it, which will redo the entire CodeGen process again unnecessarily.
Does anyone have any ideas/pointers on how I might do this efficiently?  This is only for a debugging aid, but I'd like to not have to compile everything twice when it's enabled.
Thanks
Craig
