porting between gcc and CW isn't the problem, it is for the most part trivial.
The problems come in because CW has serious issues with large switches...actually switches of all sorts can cause problems with CW. In PalmMAME there is a switch that will fail if optimizations are below 2, but works otherwise. Change it to an if/else and it is fine at any optimization level.
As for using gcc instead of CW...well CW takes care of so much more for you that I can't imagine anyone wanting to use GCC instead, even with the bugs.
