I wasn't able to reproduce before you sent this, in so much as the elc
file you had attached loaded for me locally under Emacs 28 without
issue.  Now that I see we're invoking the native compiler I can try
also on the no-MSYS machine where I've been pre-testing the pre-test
packages ;)

Just to confirm:
1. does the machine where this occurs have MSYS including libgccjib
and gcc, and if so
2. is bin folder of that MSYS installation on your path?

As I strongly suspect you know: We aren't providing libgccjib+gcc with
the Emacs 28 distributions, at least we haven't decided to do that so
far.

Appreciate the backtrace; I'll reply again when I can attempt testing
in a sans-MSYS environment.
