gcc-plugins are compiled by the host compiler (usually g++).
Kbuild already provides 'HOSTCXXFLAGS'
to pass-in additional flags to it.

But, if you need to tweak include paths, you are already screwed up, maybe.

Some time ago, I got a question about plugin builds failing due to missing gmp.h
but it was solvable by installing a package.
