How is this different from any other optional library Emacs can use if
it's present.  Most of them are in the same class: if it is present,
and the user didn't explicitly say "don't build with it", we build
with it.  (libgccjit is not yet in that class, as we didn't yet decide
to build with it by default; but we may decide that in the future.)
