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.
