No, that directive is not needed for building the libraries, it is
used for forcing the linker to include into the executable some global
objects that register themselves. The _X86TargetMachineModule is for the
x86 target.

Does the Fibonacci example works? (look into examples/Fibonacci). It
uses the JIT too. Look at its project settings and try using the same
ones on your project.
