Hi Emese,
I am not familiar with GCC plugins.
Comments from the view of Kbuild.

Maybe scripts/gcc-plugins/ is better than tools/gcc ?
In the directory "scripts/", we have several tools used during
building the kernel image.
We have some optional programs in the directory "tools/", which are not used
for building the kernel image itself.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
You sprinkle "gcc-plugins" target in the top Makefile, which I do not like.
Can you descend into scripts/gcc-plugins from scripts/Makefile?
subdir-$(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) += genksyms
subdir-y += mod
subdir-$(CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX) += selinux
subdir-$(CONFIG_DTC) += dtc
subdir-$(CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS) += gdb
+subdir-$(CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS) += gcc-plugins
This is how other host tools do, I think.

The difference is only the first argument.
Can you make it as follows?
__HOSTCC := $(call cc-ifversion, -ge, 0408, $(HOSTCXX), $(HOSTCC))
PLUGINCC := $(shell $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(srctree)/scripts/gcc-plugin.sh
"$(__HOSTCC)" "$(HOSTCXX)" "$(CC)")
I did not come up with a good name for __HOSTCC.
Feel free to replace it with a better one.

These ifdef's are really unreadable.
I wondered if it could be a bit simpler.
At least, the deepest one can be resolved with the "__HOSTCC" set above.

Maybe <gcc-common.h> because it is not located at the same directory?

All of these are included by "...", not <...>.
As mentioned above, I want you to use "..." style
when you need to use relative path from the source.
I do not see most of them in tools/gcc/.
