This is a known bug in the Windows binary distribution, see

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=72055

It should be solved by the latest binary installer, and if not, will
be solved soon.  Perhaps you need to install Emacs 30 for that.
Corwin, am I right?

You should also be able to fix avoid the warning if you remove or
rename the libgccjit DLL that the Emacs installer mistakenly installs.
