Having to compile the toolchain is more or less the usual case. 
Your old toolchain was ok for coreboot by chance, so you didn't
have to compile it until you upgraded your GCC. Then you tried it
in other systems where you hadn't tried it before and found the common
case that you have to compile your toolchain. 

makes sense ?

I would say yes. 

I'm not 100% positive, but it matches my experience. Not that I have
compiled coreboot in many different systems though, so maybe someone
knows better.
