I haven't yet met problems with DJGPP, but I know one example where
C sources compiled with different GCC versions caused problems
for me:  Linux kernel versions 2.4.1[89] with RTAI patches.

I know it's not a good example, as it uses many gcc specific extensions,
but anyway. At least compiling kernel with gcc-2.95.3 and some of loadable 
module with gcc-3.2 (or opposite direction) is rather sure way how to get 
kernel OOPSes. Using each of these compilers alone in both places seems to be 
Ok.

So maybe there are problems waiting for victim also for DJGPP ...
(However I'm not sure).
