Some people have managed to use the compiler to target a different
runtime (kaffe). As far as I know, nobody has tried to use the
runtime with a different compiler.
Yes, they are tightly linked in some ways. Unfortunately there is no
documentation on the linkage (other than the source -- the compiler is
probably more illuminating than the library here).
