There's no way to compile native code that can connect to any version of v8 - first of all v8 spans platforms where the code wouldn't even make sense. Second of all, there are ABI concerns across versions. Lastly, there's no way to simply connect arbitrary data to v8 that's linked in to another program.
At least, as far as I know.
