Except that, based on what Richard and Basile discussed, you may need
a different (binary) plugin for different minor versions of GCC (and, 
possibly, different vendor versions of GCC).

All of which terribly reminds me of the painful (for end users, ISVs, 
IHVs, OSVs,...) situation we have with the Linux kernel and out-of-tree 
modules.
