Hmm .. it's GPL. No problem with that generally, but how good a fit is
it with the liberal licences of Ruby and other scripting languages?

As Robert pointed out a while back, there's also LLVM. It isn't
intending to do quite the same thing as libjit (it requires a
pre-compilation step), but seems to be well-established & is designed
for sophisticated optimisations. The PyPy people have been active on
their mailing list.

PS Robert/Gabriele - where *do* you find the time for all your
excellent web research? :)
