gcc-2.95 on AIX

Hi!  I was wondering if any of you out there in egcs land use gcc as your
primary compiler on AIX?  I've been able to build the gcc-2.95 release just
fine and it runs great, but I find that I have to still use IBM's C/C++
compiler because gcc can't compile some of the AIX headers and stuff
properly.  In one case, I got an error about libgcc.a not being found while
trying to build tcl8.1.1.  I installed egcs/gcc because I had problems
getting Apache 1.3.6 to run correctly when compiled with IBM's compiler.
Should I even try to use gcc on AIX or just try to live the IBM's compiler?
I've been to the www.bull.de site to get binaries for stuff, but some
things I need to configure differently and I have to recompile to get me
configuration.
Any words of wisdom?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Peace......
Tom
