Yeah I didn't look into it, it would require libgccjit from a recent-ish
lang/gcc port (op@ said lang/gcc/8 wasn't enough). Timo Myyra has sent

I haven't tried this yet and I don't know how much it can speed up
emacs, but it will require careful thinking. People who want it, feel
free to beat me to it. :)
