Difference between them I can guess :-) My question is: What is better for compilation of apps for O2? Is it possible to compile some apps with gcc and some with gcc-mips64? What do you recommend? Thanks.

gcc-mips64, is exclusively for compilling a 64-bit kernel from an o32
userland. It's a C only compiller, and does not come with any sort of
libc implementation; so cross-compilling most apps with it will be
impossible.

Also, I'm curious who the hell told you that you should try to compile
userland apps with gcc-mips64. They are smoking the funky
crack...possibly rainbow or neon colored. In any case, portage won't
even try to use gcc-mips64 unless you do something really dumb to your
make.conf, in which case everything that you attempt to build will die
pretty much right away.

That was me. I deducted if kernel can be compiled with gcc-mips64 some apps or all of them can be compiled with it as well. I am new here and there is not much about gcc-mips64 in mailing list written. Therefore the question.
I am sorry I have make you angry .-)
