I've cleaned up the wiki a bit.  The GNU toolchain supports SH4.  
However, CodeSourcery produces a version of the GNU toolchain as well.  
This toolchain is obtained separately by the user should they desire to 
use it.  Changes in the CodeSourcery toolchain do eventually get pushed 
upstream to the FSF GNU toolchain.
