Difficult to answer.

* rtems4.9 and the rtems4.8 toolchains' binutils are more or less
identical
* rtems4.9-gcc is at gcc-4.3.0, while rtems4.8-gcc is at gcc-4.2.x.
* rtems4.9-newlib is newlib-1.16.0, rtems4.8-newlib is newlib-1.15.0.

Basically, both toolchains should be widely compatible, but there are
known substantial differences in details.
