What version of gcc should I use?
The kernel build requirements are quite conservative: for kernel 4.18, GCC 3.2 and binutils 2.20 are sufficient. Thus your distribution’s compiler should work fine.

NOTE: g++ version is changed automatically with a gcc version switch. cpp-bin has to be done separately as there exists a “cpp” master alternative. I found this problem while trying to install a new clang compiler.
Why are there ABI changes between GCC versions?
There are ABI changes between gcc versions. Compiling something with one version (eg the entire operating system) and then compiling something else with another version, can cause conflict. For example, kernel modules should always be compiled with the same version of gcc used to compile the kernel.
