But is gccgo compiled code affected by the same GC issues?

Yes, as the runtime used in gccgo is (mostly) the same. But the issue isn't as bad as people make it sound. I wouldn't worry about it. The GC is constantly improving and even now, with Go 1.1 (in GCC 4.8.1), you shouldn't have any problems outside of some pathological cases

Also note that Go gives you enough control over memory that you can easily work around those cases, should you actually encounter them.
