It brings GCC into the address space via libgccjit. GCC is not robust enough to be integrated into applications that stay running, and be repeatedly invoked.

I don't think that is how libgccjit is being used in this project. Emacs is not being linked with libgccjit. libgccjit is only being use for AOT compilation.
