Well, the way I look at it we have two answers:
1) In general, any sane for your architecture gcc 4.x or later should
work.  I'm not going to test every possible combination here but
maintainers (who might have less visible needs like hey, our product
uses toolchain X, so I need to use it) may also say their board needs to
work with toolchain X.
2) To me, ELDK current release, current kernel.org toolchains and
current commodity distro (Debian, Fedora, SuSE, etc) toolchains should
work too.

I personally use ELDK 5.6 or PowerPC and MIPS, kernel.org for most
everything else and Debian 8 arm-none-eabi (gcc 4.8.x) as that does both
armv7 and armv7m, and then Debian/Unstable gcc 5.x for
x86/aarch64/arm/sandbox/powerpc.
