Same story for every recent LLVM release.

LLVM JIT inserts bl instructions to jump between generated code blocks, it
crash when the distance between the blocks are out of range for a bl
instruction.

LLVM ppc and arm jit needs a workaround for this bug:
icedtea PR399
llvm pr http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=5201

I assume that if you would have built llvm with assertions then you would have
seen something like
Assertion `ResultPtr >= -(1 << 23) && ResultPtr < (1 << 23) && "Relocation out
of range!"' failed
