At the moment, yes.

Not only that, but the differences in exceptions, rtti, etc... it is well
known that you can't even use C++ libs compiled with g++ 2.8.{0,1} with

P.S. There is a problem with bootstraping right now that causes something
not to be compiled by EGCS that needs to be. I'm working on this right
now... so we might not want to change any ports just yet.
