I wouldn't delete it from there.  On Windows, we assume without
checking that gcc_jit_context_add_command_line_option exists, because
(a) Windows versions of libgccjit appeared only in GCC versions that
already supported that, and (b) without that native-compilation could
produce code that crashes on Windows.

IOW, this is an internal implementation detail, a workaround for a
nasty problem.  But for a general-purpose text that will cause no
disaster if it fails, I'd like not to use tricky conditionals that
need long explanations.
