I'm not aware of any policy to 'prefer' egcc. Certainly Linus doesn't
prefer it to build the kernel, that speaks for itself. See the message by
Matthias Klose on how to test for egcc.

something like this in debian/rules works for me:
ARCH = $(shell dpkg --print-installation-architecture)
build:
# i386 build - special optimisations
ifeq ($(ARCH),i386)
make x86 -DX86_ASM etc...
# non-i386 build
else
make normal_package etc...
endif
