AFAIK, every binary supplied by Sun was built using their own compilers. 
And those libraries do seem to be compatible with binaries built using
gcc-3.2.2.  I have KDE-3.1.1a compiled and installed on this system.  KDE
requires libjpeg and I use jpeg supplied with the OE.

Had I known that you had installed packages from the Software Companion CD
I would have included those arguments to $LDFLAGS.

/opt/sfw gets created when you install packages from the Software
Companion CD.  It is not there otherwise.

Not a screw up as to where things got placed.  You simply have to know
where they are and adjust your environment accordingly.
