MCJIT served well as the default JIT engine in lli for a long time, but the code is getting old and maintenance efforts don't seem to be in sight. In the meantime Orc became mature enough to fill that gap. The newly added greddy mode is very similar to the execution model of MCJIT. It should work as a drop-in replacement for common JIT tasks.

This patch causes RuntimeDyld to check for existing definitions when it
encounters weak symbols. If a definition already exists then the new weak
definition is discarded. All symbol lookups within a "logical dylib" should now
agree on the address of any given weak symbol. This allows the JIT to better
match the behavior of the static linker for C++ code.
This support is only partial, as it does not allow strong definitions that
occur after the first weak definition (in JIT symbol lookup order) to override
the previous weak definitions. Support for this will be added in a future
patch.
