Things have become much easier.  Try just running './configure --enable-jit' since it is disabled by default.  It should find your llvm-config program all on its own, but you can always set the LLVM_CONFIG environment variable if it doesn't.

I think I tried just --enable-jit originally, and it didn't work, as I'd seen this flag mentioned in the mailing list. I can't confirm this for certain though. I then found a post which mentioned only the LLVM_CONFIG flag, which is why I thought it was actually this that made it happen.

This all might merit a brief mention on the octave wiki which was one of the places I went looking for info.

The 'Building from Dev Sources' on the online manual still refers to autogen.sh rather than bootstrap by the way.
