Those will also depend on both target and version; somewhere under 
libsubdir also probably works for them (the configure macros provided by 
GCC for plugin writers can deal with finding them for users).  They'll 
also need to include some generated files (for example, plugins are bound 
to need to know the configured HOST_WIDE_INT, which depends on 
NEED_64BIT_HOST_WIDE_INT, even if anyone manages to separate cleanly those 
cases that are about the host from those relating more to the target).
