I'm sure this is going to be fantastic.  But where are the instructions?

I've just tried a ./configure (with --with-native-compilation), and got
the error message:

    configure: error: elisp native compiler requested but libgccjit not found.
    Please try installing libgccjit or similar package.

What is libgccjit, and where do I find it?  (It is not in my OS's
package manager (Gentoo GNU/Linux)).  What else do I need to know,
successfully to build and run the native compilation feature?

Thanks!
