It depends on the version - recent Graphics SDKs were built using so called 
"Arago" toolchain, which is a gcc-4.5.3 based toolchain with Linaro patches 
applied and made form Classic-OE/Arago.

BTW, Yocto Project prefers self-built toolchain, although you can easily add 
Linaro toolchain with meta-linaro layer.

As long as you use the same ABI, things should just work for the most part.
