Yes, it is still relevant:
* Bi-arch systems are still frequent. Large packages are still often
provided as 32-bit binaries, from some vendors.
* The behaviour of stdbuf in coreutils-8.30 is still the same:
$ /arch/x86-linux/gnu/bin/stdbuf -o 0 /bin/pwd
ERROR: ld.so: object '/arch/x86-linux/gnu/libexec/coreutils/libstdbuf.so'
from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

$ /arch/x86_64-linux/gnu/bin/stdbuf -o 0 /arch/x86-linux/gnu/bin/pwd
ERROR: ld.so: object
'/arch/x86_64-linux/gnu/libexec/coreutils/libstdbuf.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot
be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.

* The distributor (Ubuntu 16.04 in my case) has not fixed the problem either:
$ /usr/bin/stdbuf --version
stdbuf (GNU coreutils) 8.25
...
$ /usr/bin/stdbuf -o 0 /arch/x86-linux/gnu/bin/pwd
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/coreutils/libstdbuf.so'
from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.
