However, my plugin (a vst audio plugin) now fails to load. As an experiment, I tried building it against the 10.2 sdk using gcc 3.3 (and zlib and libpng that are also built with gcc 3.3). And it loads successfully. Is it possible that somehow the entry point of my plugin is being mangled when built with gcc 4.0?
You can't deploy to Mac OS X 10.2.8 (or anything earlier than 10.3.9) if you build with gcc 4.0. If you want to deploy to 10.2.8, you have to build with gcc3.3 and either the 10.3.9 SDK or the 10.2.8 one. If building with the 10.3.9 SDK, you may need to specifically link against the 10.2.8 versions of certain libraries like zlib, because they don't support the automatic weak linking features that Carbon and Cocoa do.
