Hi.
This question has been posted before, but didn't get a definitive
answer.
Here's the original question:

licensed)

This question has been asked to me regarding the merging of
rustc_codegen_gcc (which uses libgccjit) into rustc:
https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/442#issuecomment-872594241

Thanks!
