No, the point of the plugin interface is that it actually is a (constrained) stable ABI with version-querying and checking so you don't have to build a plugin against the exact matching QEMU version. (But "don't use really ancient gcc" doesn't seem like a very major thing to ask of its users.) thanks -- PMM
