And adding to that: the reason why things like LLVM come up a lot is because, if you write your chain right, you get things like LLDB for free. Using DynASM as your JIT base still forces you to write GDB hooks or a custom debugger, which, while hardly impossible, also aren't the easiest thing in the world. I actually think DynASM is a lot easier to wrap your head around on the JIT landscape, but it's also much more suited to a build-the-world type of situation.
