That change wasn't quite enough: to get this building against libc++
(Clang's native stdlb) I also needed this change to llvmjit.h so that
<llvm-c/Types.h> wouldn't be included with the wrong linkage (perhaps
you can find a less ugly way):

+#ifdef __cplusplus
+}
+#endif
 #include <llvm-c/Types.h>
+#ifdef __cplusplus
+extern "C"
+{
+#endif

BTW if you're building with clang (vendor compiler on at least macOS
and FreeBSD) you'll probably need CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11 (or later
standard) because it's still defaulting to '98.
