From the installer itself there is a

c:/Program Files/Emacs/emacs-29.4/bin/libgccjit-0.dll

But doesn't setting `native-comp-jit-compilation' to nil 
accomplish the same workaround a little more easily? (I added this 
to my early-init yesterday while I'm figuring out the problem.)

Also I think that DLL is missing from emacs-29.4.zip. Was that the 
"packaging error"; i.e. should it *not* be present in the 
installer exe?

Done.
