The setting affects whether your Emacs decides to native-compile during
normal operation.  But here it sounds like Magit is trying to use the
native-compiler anyway, and fails (since your libgccjit is broken).

I think this is just a reflection on the general broken-ness of your
system -- you can't expect packages like Magit to work under these
circumstances, so you should fix your system (or not use a nativecomp
Emacs if your system doesn't support it).
