FWIW, I see the same problem with that latest build
(from 2/13).  Backtrace:

Sorry - strike (ignore) that.

OK, tried with the right binary this time (2/13).
The initial problem I reported is gone.  Thanks.
That was the problem of Emacs saying that it
"Cannot find libgccjit library".
___

However, the other problem I reported is still
there.  That's the bug wrt `define-minor-mode'
when the library is compiled with Emacs 20
(which doesn't have `define-minor-mode').

The code in the `require'd file uses
`define-minor-mode' only inside
 
  (when (> emacs-major-version 24)...)

so there's no problem with either the *.el
or the *.elc.  But Emacs 28 chokes on it.

This is the backtrace, again:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable mode)
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  eval((defvar bookmark-show-annotation-mode-abbrev-table (progn (define-abbrev-table (derived-mode-abbrev-table-name mode) nil) (make-abbrev-table)) "Abbrev table for bookmark-show-annotation-mode."))

HTH.

The evidence is that the code does evaluate something that references
'mode':
