That failed miserably. What I tried:
(1) See with which options elns are compiled/linked.
(let ((native-comp-driver-options '("-v")))
(native-compile "/Users/gerd/emacs/crash.el"))

ld: warning: -undefined dynamic_lookup may not work with chained fixups
That is, it builds a shared object (-dynamic).
(2) -bundle_loader requires -bundle. Ld gives an error if
-bundle_loader is used without -bundle. A "bundle" in Mach-O, which is
what MacOS is using instead of ELF, say, is something different than a
shared library. Example:
gcc -v -o eln.dylib -twolevel_namespace -undefined dynamic_lookup -dylib -bundle_loader hansi eln.c
ld: -bundle_loader can only be used with -bundle
(3) Tried to add -bundle like this
(let ((native-comp-driver-options '("-v" "-bundle")))
(native-compile "/Users/gerd/emacs/crash.el"))
but it fails

aarch64-apple-darwin21-gcc-12: error: -bundle not allowed with -dynamiclib
COLLECT_GCC=aarch64-apple-darwin21-gcc-12
I odn't know how to remove the -dynamic from (1).
As an aside, -bundler_loader actually requires an argument <executable>,
which would be Emacs in our case. What that means for Emacs' build
process is unclear to me, but it doesn't feel good.
So, I declare this a complete failure.
Anyone with an idea what else to try? Otherwise my proposal is to
either add something to etc/PROBLEMS describing how to add "-Wl,-w", or
add that option by default on Darwin.
I didn't check if emacs-28 has the same problem, but I don't see why it
wouldn't.
If we add -Wl by default, an open question is if -w is supported on all
all versions of MacOS that Emacs supports, which I can't find a definite
answer to.
