I'm not sure I've passed an invalid value; I've changed my code to not
delete the engine builder and it works:

    auto ebuild = new llvm::EngineBuilder(
unique_ptr<llvm::Module>(module) );
    llvm::ExecutionEngine * ee = ebuild->
        setErrorStr( &errStr ).
        setEngineKind( llvm::EngineKind::JIT ).
        setTargetOptions( topts ).
        create();

My code then runs fine. This is pointing towards destruction of the
`EngineBuilder` itself causing the problem (like it's deleting the
module although it shouldn't, since it's been given to the created
`ExecutionEngine`).
