The ABI changed after the K1, but gmplay built for the K3 works fine on everything from the K2 to the KV (and probably the Oasis, though I need to publish my KUAL extension so somebody can try it without needing SSH).

I was rather difficult finding a toolchain that works on the K1, but I ultimately succeeded (as can be seen from the thread linked to the K1 "jailbreak" in the jailbreak index sticky thread.

I am curious though why some extensions pack two versions of executables for older and newer kindles (perhaps three versions if I add K1 support to them).
