If your GCC is properly configured there is a switch  -fpcc-struct-return
which you can supply on your gcc command line to get the calling sequence
required by cc.

 `- Is there a similar problem with structs as function parameters (in my
 `  environment both GNUcc and the native cc handled structs as
 `  parameters in the same way)?

There should be no problem with structs as parameters.
