I'm not a member of Windows CE dev team, so I can't answer
this question.

Shortly, yes you can and the GCC tools chain is ported.
IMHO, longer answer is that usability of these tools is limited,
ie. you don't have access to remote debugging on a device,
many of libraries are not supported like ATL which makes impossible to
use WTL - two crucial libraries for me.
