Hello!

I tried building against LLVM-21 and noticed that a function for symbol
lookup was renamed (without semantic changes), breaking the LLVM JIT.
The following patch fixes this by adding a version guard. It applies equally
to both master and 17.6. Passes the test suite and verified on 17.6 with the
jit example from the documentation.

cheers,
Holger

Subject: [PATCH] jit: fix build with LLVM-21

LLVM-21 renamed llvm::GlobalValue::getGUID() to
getGUIDAssumingExternalLinkage(), so add a version guard.
