Not quite.  GCC does not support the non-fragile ABI.  It also does not support 
using the optimisation passes shipped with the GNUstep runtime, so you don't 
get things like automatic IMP caching.  If you're sticking to the legacy ABI, 
they are more or less interchangeable, although I'm not sure if GCC emits code 
that supports property introspection or lookup of unused protocols (clang emits 
this, but the GCC 4.2 runtime ignores them).
