Great! It works ... thank you! 
Just for the record, I replaced the Function::create call by this one:

llvm::Function *KnownFunction = cast<llvm::Function>(Mod->getOrInsertFunction("known",llvm::TypeBuilder<int(int), false>::get(Mod->getContext())));

So this would be the way to declare C Functions to the "Script" ... now can this be done for C++ methods as well?
Is there a possibility that the JIT "links" against C++ classes from the "host" application?
