Todd,
I think it's bit-rot. There are other Raku bindings of gdk-3 and most developer
attention is on gdk-4.
Also you work on Windows. The gdk to windows interface is tricky because the
Raku interface is on top of the OS library. So the OS library has to be
installed correctly.

Do we have a Gtk4 library yet?

Are you able to install it?
--force-test goes on and on and on and on and
never resolves.
