Oh... we have dummy functions for jit stack management, but jit_exec is missing from. This is a bug and bad news. Perhaps defining a weak symbol could help, but might be not portable enough. Falling back to pcre_exec is also an option.

Are the SLJIT macros visible outside? That is also something which shouldn't be :(
