Hi,

I tried to remove the gcc-plugins target but sadly in this case the plugins aren't complied.
I don't know if I understand how it should work. I pushed a commit:
https://github.com/ephox-gcc-plugins/gcc-plugins_linux-next/commit/0b005b886bde6c4b9134d01f830d88d464911a65
Could you please help me with what I did wrong?

Thanks
