There was a short period where the jit had been removed, but the examples had not been updated.

I believe this should be fixed by:
r217031 - fixes for the llvm/examples.
r217032 - fixes for clang-interpreter.

if you are buuilding a later revision and still seeing problems, please let me know what platform and how you are configuring.
