Yes, currently the default target of both gcc and binutils on this
port is x32 (elf32-x86-64).  (Technical details: gcc-4.7 from
experimental applies differences from the git branch
hjl-x32-gcc-4_7-branch, and configures with --with-abi=mx32.  binutils
configured with --host=x86_64-linux-gnux32 defaults to elf32-x86-64
target in the version from experimental.  Both rebuilt with the same
source except with a new Debian revision tag and uploaded to
debian-ports "unreleased" suite so they're the default installed
version on the x32 port.)
