Yes. cegcc uses a version of Doug Lea's malloc, while mingw32ce uses whatever's in coredll.dll. See: /src/newlib/newlib/libc/sys/wince/malloc.c You could try reusing it, and/or writing your own global operator new, operator delete, etc. However, if you find that you can isolate the parts of the code that are critical, it may be better to use a pool or a special allocator for the memory management of those time critical allocations/objects.
