Yeah, well, sorry, I should have been more explicit here: the issue is with PostgreSQL, not LLVM. The JIT compiler has to inject direct memory addresses, making the generated code specific to your query and process.

Interesting, because we store relocatable objects. And process symbols can be resolved by name if you really want. It might be yet another performance trade-off though.
