Using gcc-4.9.3 or gcc-5.3.1 for an ARM allmodconfig build, I get tons of
errors such as this one:

/git/arm-soc/init/initramfs.c: In function 'error':
/git/arm-soc/init/initramfs.c:50:1: error: unrecognizable insn:

Using gcc-6.1.1 or gcc-7.0.0, everything works fine as far as I
can tell. With some older Ubuntu binary toolchains, I get this one:

In file included from <stdin>:1:0:
/git/arm-soc/scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h:4:22: fatal error: bversion.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Cannot use CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS: your gcc installation does not support plugins, perhaps the necessary headers are missing?

and I can't find the packages for the headers (I still get them for
gcc-5, but not older versions). On very old toolchains (e.g. gcc-4.3),
I get this one:

Cannot use CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS: your gcc version does not support plugins, you should upgrade it to at least gcc 4.5
scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins:54: recipe for target 'gcc-plugins-check' failed
