With a distribution build (Ubuntu) on amd64, i386, armhf, arm64, ppc64el and 
s390x, I don't see any regressions in the GCC testsuite (compared to 7.4.0), 
except for two issues on ppc64el:

FAIL: gcc.target/powerpc/pr87532.c (test for excess errors)
Excess errors:
/build/gcc-7-8odB_r/gcc-7-7.4.0/src/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/powerpc/pr87532.c:45:27: 
warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 2 has type 
'size_t {aka long unsigned int}' [-Wformat=]

is a new test, and only caused by default hardening settings.

PASS: gcc.dg/vect/slp-perm-4.c execution test

PASS: gcc.dg/vect/slp-perm-4.c scan-tree-dump-times vect "gaps requires scalar 
epilogue loop" 0
