I can only report that I've used the cross-GDC binary 
distribution to compile for v6 (Raspberry Pi + raspbian), v7-A 
(ARM instructions, Samsung SoCs, no OS, no Phobos/druntime), v7-M 
(Thumb2, STM32F103, no OS, no Phobos/druntime), without any 
issues on the codegen side, as long as proper marm/mthumb/mcpu 
options are set.
Building for a linux system with incompatible libraries will 
likely cause some trouble, though.
