Hi Michael,

I took a look and seen that the debian container we are using for
testing has libgccjit6 available as package.

Being this debian stretch I don't understand why it's not libgccjit 7 or
8 looking at:

https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=buster&arch=amd64&searchon=names&keywords=libgccjit

but anyway...  I did some tests in the docker and apparently it works!
(we are lucky often libgccjit distributed can be broken).

I added a test to the yml that performs a native bootstrap:

https://gitlab.com/koral/gccemacs/-/commit/8d6fb91c7448f438744dec8f3cc9a51d0e1d8254

Now what is going to happen if I push this?  Is this test going to run
every time I push or we have a way to select the tests to be run per
test?

Also if I try to look into the pipelines in emba following
https://emba.gnu.org/emacs/emacs/pipeline_schedules I get 404.  Is this
expected?

Sorry as it's clear I'm not really skilled into this.

Thanks

  Andrea
