[llvm-dev] JIT and atexit crash

[Stefan Gränitz via llvm-dev]

Maybe the easiest workaround would be overriding symbol resolution for
the function name and redirect it to your own version in static code
(and hope it has no bad side effect on your use case).

I think when running 3rd party code, the only way to definitely avoid
this kind of trouble is to never deallocate any code or data sections.
Doug Binks mentioned that too in his cppcast about Runtime Compiled C++
