I've perhaps conjoined two issues.  Compiler and linker flags do depend on the
toolchain in use, but IME don't actually vary too much.  Compile time
decisions on what the OS API's and structures look like depend on the SDK in
use.  The SDK's often introduce updated versions of the toolchain as well.
