For a generic binary, that should be fine.  See the comments to the
compilation flags for a generic Linux kernel:

  # If GENERIC, make sure to turn off any instruction set extensions that
  # the host compiler might have on by default.  Given that EV4 and EV5
  # have the same instruction set, prefer EV5 because an EV5 schedule is
  # more likely to keep an EV4 processor busy than vice-versa.
