I work in MQ engineering at MSDW and am co-conspirator for the
MQSeries perl module to be found at CPAN. (Shameless plug: using the
perl API for MQSeries system administration will make your life a lot
easier. Feel free to contact me off-list for more info.)
As far as I know, gcc works just fine with the MQSeries C libraries.
On Linux, IBM use gcc themselves; on Solaris, we used to use gcc with
it (though we use SunPro C now). When using the C API, I am not aware
of any changes that you'd need to make to switch between compilers.
As for the C++ API, that's a different story, since the name mangling
is different. You may be forced to use the vendor C++ compiler on
non-Linux platforms. As we've developed our own high-level C++ API,
I wouldn't know.
