Hm, why is this a global var actually? There can be
multiple parallel calls to bpf_int_jit_compile(), we
don't take a global lock on this. Unless I'm missing
something this should really reside in jit_ctx, no?

Given this is on emit_bpf_tail_call(), did you get
tail calls working the way I suggested to test?
