[llvm-dev] Static constructors with ORC JIT?

[Alex Denisov via llvm-dev]

I think the tutorial does not target JITting native code on purpose: that would require few more details, that may distract from an intro.

I also think there should be a page describing how to JIT native code, but we are all still waiting for it to appear :)
