From the patch:

> + DEF_DLL_FN (void, gcc_jit_context_add_driver_option,
> +             (gcc_jit_context *ctxt, const char *optname));

[...]

> +   LOAD_DLL_FN (library, gcc_jit_context_add_driver_option);
> + #endif

The above should not be ifdef'd as they allow the function to be used
only if present in the library in use at runtime on Windows systems.

Unfortunatelly we do not have such system for Linux where the decision
to include the call is done at compile time.  So unless we implement
that too also the call site has to be a little changed to handle this.

Please have a look for that into in Fcomp_libgccjit_version where we use
gcc_jit_version_*.  These are the only "optional" libgccjit entry point
we used so far.

Super!
