What is "your MinGW installation" in this context?  Is it what came
with Emacs, or is it what was installed from chocolatey?  They are
both "MinGW" (AFAIU), so what you say is ambiguous.

What exactly did you try, and how did it "not change anything"?

Does Emacs succeed in loading libgccjit you have from chocolatey, when
you remove the DLL that came with Emacs?  If not, does the chocolatey
libgccjit DLL live in some directory on PATH?

But if removing the local GCC (which is what? the one that came with
Emacs?) doesn't leave you with Emacs that can natively-compile,
there's a larger problem here, one that I don't yet understand.

What version of GCC did you install from chocolatey?  What does
"gcc --version" there say?
