Apologies. I guess I was under the influence of my second vaccine shot... I 
forgot to use the --with-native-compilation when I reconfigured after 
patching...

And the result, with the patch and the flag, is:

checking for gcc_jit_context_acquire in -lgccjit... no
configure: error: ELisp native compiler was requested, but libgccjit was not 
found.
Please try installing libgccjit or a similar package.
