I am not aware of any, there may be needed some target-specific support like
for s390 gcc -m31 but in general it should work.
I could pick some 10 years old discussion that NEWS file should not contain
limitations, that those are just bugs for future ChangeLog entries.

A complicated way, for non-native targets an appropriate cross-gcc should be
