OK, I guess I'll do so then.

Using a different build system on *nix doesn't really fix the problem. I
don't think zakk would agree to this anyway. Thinking about it again,
perhaps the best solution is to negate the value, so the define remains
in the Makefile, but is DOESNT_HAVE_VM_COMPILE (or whatever) instead.
That way the OS X and VC builds get their JIT compiler back for free,
but we still maintain control over whether or not it is enabled from the
Makefile.

I'll have a fiddle later on tonight I guess.
