Hi Nicolas,

I think would be handy to have 'native-comp-available-p' always defined
also when compiling without the native compiler.  Similarly to what we
have for gnutls-available-p and libxml-available-p.

+static bool
+load_gccjit_if_necessary(bool mandatory)
                       ^^^
                    space here
+{
+#ifdef WINDOWSNT
+  if (!gccjit_initialized)
+    {
+      Lisp_Object status;
+      gccjit_initialized = init_gccjit_functions ();
+

Also I think gccjit_initialized should be declared be static inside
load_gccjit_if_necessary given should and is used only there.

Thanks

  Andrea
