This is normal for native systems.

Not really.  The more closely a compiler follows published ABIs the less
of an issue mixing and matching objects from different compilers will be.

If you have library sources, it is possible to rebuild all your libraries
with egcs, but doing so is out of the scope of what is typically discussed
on this list -- it's highly system specific.
