I'm sure there are likely to be issues...  for example, c++ isn't  
going to link across these versions.  As long as one links with  
gcc-4.0, the issues of not finding a routine should be minimized.   
For C and Objective-C, there should be good compatibility between the  
compilers.

You can run an nm on libgcc.a and find all the symbols that can go  
missing between the two, if you want.  Luckily, the solution to that  
problem, if encountered is fairly trivial.
