No. My guess would be that some context patches are missing in the older kernels.

I also get lots of

include/linux/byteorder/big_endian.h:8:2: warning: #warning inconsistent configuration, needs CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN

which as it turns out is also seen in v4.14.22, meaning the actual problem
was most likely introduced earlier (I don't see that warning upstream).
