Yes, last time I've heard SUSE was disabling support for plugins in
their build of GCC.

You can't. The ODB compiler relies on GCC plugin support for parsing
C++ code. Going forward, your options seem to be (1) to check if maybe
SUSE (or someone else) provides a build of GCC with plugins enabled or
(2) build GCC from source yourself (it's actually not that hard).
