Right because you did not recompile the plugin to use the headers of
arm-none-eabi-gcc compiler.  You need to recompile the plugin for that
compiler using the native GCC you compiled the compiler with; that is
you might need to recompile the compiler too.
There is no stable plugin API/ABI here and that is what you are running into.

Thanks,
Andrew
