At this point I start to suspect that this is not strictly related to
native compilation.

The configure flags are used only for our regular C code and not for
Elisp native compilation.  So it might be that some kind of
misscompilaiton of our C code is happening only with
--with-native-compilation, but looks to me it's not our compiler or
libgccjit the issue here.

I tried now on GCC 13.1.1

git clean -xfd && ./autogen.sh
CFLAGS='-g3 -O1 -gdwarf-2 -foptimize-sibling-calls'
./configure --with-native-compilation && make -j16

and have complete bootstrap succesfully on emacs-29 (65f355ea0a3), my
dev machine is still x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.

One idea might be asking GCC to log what optimize-sibling-calls is doing
and see if any of our C function supporting native compilation is
touched by this pass (I believe is called in GCC tree-tailcall).

CFLAGS='-g3 -O1 -gdwarf-2 -foptimize-sibling-calls -fdump-tree-tailr' && make bootstrap

should let GCC dump what this pass is for each C compilation unit, I'd
start looking at the output for comp.c (I've comp.c.045t.tailr1 and comp.c.125t.tailr2).  

Hope it helps!

  Andrea
