No, but it should have no effect. In fact, I wonder -- how different qcc is from
gcc? Does it have -fPIC? Does it have threading support? 

Or rather -- does anyting break if you use the gcc toolset, as opposed to qcc?
It might be best strategy to make gcc handle both, rather than risk further
differences in behaviour.
