Maybe omit ja-dic.{el,elc} from the tarball, when they depend on the
configuration?

Somebody must have found the feature important enough to add a configure
option for it. :)


To add some context, even if it is only loosely related: This originates
from Gentoo bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/914368 where a user observed a
segmentation fault in libgccjit when native-compiling ja-dic.el.
(However, that bug occured with a somewhat obscure system, and we don't
really have proof that it was related to the size of the file.)
