Octave still depends on llvm-3.5*. Now that 3.7* is going stable, I'd like to get a clear field for cleaning 3.5, or at least clearing upgrade path for people. Any chance we could get a newer LLVM support into Octave, or p.use.mask the flag?

    sci-mathematics/octave: Remove USE=jit
    
    Gentoo-Bug: 588098
    * USE=jit has become a liability instead of a feature for
      Gentoo. The JIT support within octave requires old versions
      of LLVM, which are broken and unsupported.
