Linux here. HowtoUseLLJIT works for me on LLVM 9 built with GCC 9.2, in
release and debug mode.

But HowToUseJIT fails in both modes as EngineBuilder::create() returns
a nullptr which is not checked for in the example code.

And LLJITWithObjectCache crashes as well because the symbol lookup
seems to fail, leading to the function pointer being NULL.

git master has the same issues. Maybe I'm compiling LLVM in the wrong
way. build config is pretty much default:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release/Debug -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON ..

There's an old bug report:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38261

The proposed fix for HowToUseJIT does not seem to work anymore.
