JIT compiling can be enabled for x86_64, but please note that JIT
compiling is mostly a white elephant at this point. It doesn't compile
anything but the most trivial of loops, and it's causing all of us a
maintenance burden. I would recommend against spending the effort to
make Octave build with JIT compiling. If you know of someone who
understands this topic, please direct them our way.
