Compatible versions of Intel OpenMP and GCC

Is there any documentation on with versions of Intel OpenMP are compatible with which versions of GCC?

At work we tend to be very conservative about changing anything, and mostly use GCC 5.3.0 and Intel MKL 2017.

I've been working on a big project to test performance of more recent compilers and libraries. However I'm getting big performance (due to numerical problems) when I use MKL 2017 with versions of GCC 9.1 and later. If I use MKL 2020 then the problem goes away. If possible I'd like to avoid repeating that experience.

Maybe the answer to my own question, there is this:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/cpp-compiler/developer-guide-reference/2021-9/openmp-support.html

The OpenMP specification does not define interoperability of multiple implementations, so the OpenMP implementation supported by other compilers and OpenMP support in the Intel® C++ Compiler Classic might not be interoperable. Even if you compile and build the entire application with one compiler, be aware that different compilers might not provide OpenMP source compatibility that enable you to compile and link the same set of application sources with a different compiler and get the expected parallel execution results.

Is that all that I can count on?
