Ok, later I will open a bug report about it.

See new attached patch.

Thanks.

I was not even close. The code crashes when iterating over the
`all_loaded_comp_units_h` weak hash table. We get a SIGSEGV when iterating over
a native compilation unit that has already been swept by the GC. For some
reason the hash table does not get updated. Maybe the code I used to iterate
over the hash table is not ok for weak hash tables?

=============
  struct Lisp_Hash_Table *h = XHASH_TABLE (all_loaded_comp_units_h);

  for (ptrdiff_t i = 0; i < HASH_TABLE_SIZE (h); ++i)
    {
      Lisp_Object k = HASH_KEY (h, i);
      if (!EQ (k, Qunbound))
        {
          Lisp_Object val = HASH_VALUE (h, i);
          struct Lisp_Native_Comp_Unit *cu = XNATIVE_COMP_UNIT (val);
          dispose_comp_unit (cu, false);
        }
    }
=============

Thanks, Nico.
