Andrea,

Do we need libgccjit only for compiling to *.eln, or do we also need
it for loading and executing the *.eln files?

IOW, if Emacs was built with libgccjit, but the library isn't
available at run time, will Emacs still be able to load and run *.eln
files that were produced elsewhere (assuming the native code is
compatible with the platform where it will be run)?

Thanks.
