Yes, got it and I also wonder if there's a better low hanging solution.
The underlying question that I wanted to point out was: Would the escape
to Support be a one-time solution for JITSymbol or will we see more of
the same soon. GDB JIT interface seems to be the next candidate, but
OTOH it's quite a special case again. I will have a look at OProfile and
Perf implementations for RuntimeDyld to make a better estimation.
I guess you'd prefer us to act on it soon now? What time frame are you
having in mind? Is next week acceptable? (I am more or less ooo for the
rest of the week.)

These should be fixed now. Thanks again for reporting your issues and
sorry for the inconvenience.
