I thought a given version of gcc would only use the plugin it shipped
with(?).

And even if in theory one should keep the plugin compatible with older
gcc releases, in this case it is only relevant to vxworks ports, so if
Eric and Olivier are ok with this as-is, perhaps we can avoid having to
accept both spellings forever.
