No (or at least it is probably the mostly complex possible solution).

Yes, and I'm not quite sure I understand the "how". It depends how you
run the Vivado stuff, one easy way would be to use a chroot to a
full Linux userland, and there it just would use the C compiler from that
userland.

The other option is to have enough libs installed in the emul dir and use
Vivado w/o chroot, then you could place the linux gcc wherever you like
and just point at it (via $PATH or whatever mechanisms Vivado offers
for configuration).
