Yes, coreboot usually requires specific versions of the toolchain. 
Sometimes it works with others, but it is a matter of chance whether
your distribution has the versions coreboot likes (or the patches
it likes). I haven't looked at what tests coreboot does to detect
whether it likes the system toolchain. 

If there's a new version of coreboot in Wednesday's libreboot, it
may happen that it no longer likes your toolchain (even most distro
toolchains).
