Keyword here is "has worked for emacs".  I've tried porting the logic
from flatwhatson's channel over, but regardless of what I do, it
already fails in the configure step of Emacs (in a manner that's
reproducible outside as well).  Thus, I think this is a bug in
libgccjit (or perhaps our packaging of it) that simply happened to be
ignored during development of Emacs 28, but no longer in the release.

Cheers
