Some trivial examples are in the llvm/examples directory, e.g. the 
HowToUseJIT example:
http://llvm.org/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/llvm/examples/HowToUseJIT/HowToUseJIT.cpp?rev=1.12&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

The Fibonacci example is somewhat more interesting:
http://llvm.org/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/llvm/examples/Fibonacci/fibonacci.cpp?rev=1.12&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

We even have a more complex example that jit's on multiple threads:
http://llvm.org/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/llvm/examples/ParallelJIT/ParallelJIT.cpp?rev=1.6&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
