In my opinion libjit is still relevant since libgccjit requires gcc to
be installed on the user machine (runtime requirement!) and for example
on Windows this is not the case (and on binary Linux distros usually
absent too). Libjit on the other hand is self-sustained.

Hello all from France,
I have the feeling that libjit is no more active or updated, since
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libjit/ has few messages and the last
gitcommit to libjit seems to be 942c988db170d98061a9e934fb3 from Aleksey Demakov
GNU lightning has similar goals (quick machine code generation) and a different
ABI. From France right now (Sun May 4 07:00:48 PM UTC 2025) I am unable to
access 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/lightning.git/': The requested URL
returned error: 502
libgccjit is active since part of GCC. I am compiling the just released gcc-15-
20250503 (on my Linux/Debian desktop, ...)
Can anyne help, preferably by emailing on some public mailing list, to describe
the status of these different software and their activity? In particular tell me
that libjit is (perhaps unfortunately) nearly dead.
Thanks for reading.
PS. I am BCC-ing various persons who have been involved in these projects.
