What about the other files. (lto1, cc1plus...). On my Debian/Sid, 
% gcc --print-file-name=cc1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/cc1

But 
% ls -F /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/
32/	       crtprec80.o	libgcj-tools.so@	libquadmath.a
cc1*	       ecj1*		libgcj.so@		libquadmath.so@
cc1plus*       gengtype*	libgcj.spec		libssp_nonshared.a
collect2*      gtype.state	libgcj_bc.so		libstdc++.a
crtbegin.o     include/		libgcov.a		libstdc++.so@
crtbeginS.o    include-fixed/	libgij.so@		libsupc++.a
crtbeginT.o    jc1*		libgomp.a		lto-wrapper*
crtend.o       jvgenmain*	libgomp.so@		lto1*
crtendS.o      libgcc.a		libgomp.spec		plugin/
crtfastmath.o  libgcc_eh.a	liblto_plugin.so@
crtprec32.o    libgcc_s.so@	liblto_plugin.so.0@
crtprec64.o    libgcc_s_32.so@	liblto_plugin.so.0.0.0


How can I know which of the above files have some influence on the behavior of GCC
plugins? (This is not true of all, crtbegin.o don't, and I would think that gengtype
don't neither, because I believe that its observable behavior changes only from 4.6 to
4.7, but not much from 4.6.0 to 4.6.1).

I was suggesting adding some way to get the checksums of only the relevant files.

Regards.
