It can't be serious that writing a brand new disassembler
is better choice than using a working one.

It's not the most beautiful think I've ever seen, but it works.
But I still don't understand why its existence is an issue?

Do you have a political reason that everything related
to LLVM should be removed from the trunk immediately?
I can understand that Apple don't want to use it,
in this case just remove it from your build system
and set USE_LLVM_DISASSEMBLER to 0 on your platform.

But I don't understand why do you want to force Linux 
users to drop a working debugging possibility?

We only removed LLVM based FTL JIT support from the build system.

LLVM disassembler is optional and still can be enabled explicitly:
build-jsc --cmakeargs="-DUSE_LLVM_DISASSEMBLER=1"
