Well, there's a reason we do build coverage - we also want to test
that the non-build coverage case builds.

And it's not actually obvious that it does - it's in fact rather
likely that the gcc plugin is broken in general, and it just so
happens that it's the build bots that find it.

Which is why I honestly would prefer to just disable the plugins in general.

Because the problem is the plugin, not the build coverage.
