If you want to do JIT, you should do it on an intermediate representation (IR) designed for the purpose. Deliberately using x86 (or any native code, really) for that purpose is ridiculous. Besides, we wouldn't necessarily have to do JIT all the time. With a good IR, we could have live CDs and USB sticks use JIT and convert to native code at install-time.
