Yes it is.

A simple hello world compiles as 32bit binary but running it causes a segfault. Compiling the same hello world as 64bit does not cause any segfaults. Switching off pti resolves the issue and I can run the 32bit hello world.
I first found this issue while trying to emerge gdbm-1.14 as 32bit. Running configure failed and the config.log file said that gcc produced a segfault while compiling a test binary called "conftest" (see the gdbm-1.14-abi_x86_32.x86_config.log attachment in my initial report).

Same problem with 4.15-rc6. So I suppose that means it's a general issue.
