Plugins won't "know" the API that is used in newer versions of GDB, soThat is correct.
they can't really decide whether they are or are not compatible with
it. Only allowing plugins to be loaded with _exactly_ the same version as the gdb they are loaded into works well (same way the linux kernel
does).
If the plugins are using a small number of functions only, you might want to consider using an API version number - whenever one of these functions changes, you increase the version number. This would allow plugins from various gdb versions (but with the same API version) to be used without the need of recompiling. Jelmer
