At least theoretically both gccs should search the paths corresponding to
the currently set gcc. I wouldn't rule out that something goes wrong,
though. Have you tested it?

Obviously when linking against static libraries the code for the wrong gcc
will be linked in, which alone is a reason, which where pure C code is
concerned probably doesn't matter much. I don't know whether there are any
consequences with respect to shared libraries. I'd rather avoid the
situation.
