This is wrong because on a 64 bit system, this is a 64 bit library. The correct library is /usr/lib32.
Attach relevant config.log.

now what I don't understand is why does libtool appear to be magically changing -lexpat to /usr/lib/libexpat.so.
I updated libtool, but that did not help. Same error with link to wrong library. tvscribe ~ # equery list libtool * Searching for libtool ... [IP-] [ ] sys-devel/libtool-2.4.6:2
Does any of the possible expansions of /usr/lib*/libexpat.la exist? If so, please include the contents of each of those files and the output of `portageq owners / /usr/lib*/libexpat.la`.

Removing /usr/lib32/libexpat.la causes the link of fontconfig to work correctly. Thanks.
Given that 'static-libs' is off, it seems that you've dropped an out of tree version into /usr/lib32. That means you need to fix that on your own, as only you could know when and why that happened.
It is also possible that if this is an old install, a run of la-file-fixer or fix-la-files.sh a couple of years ago missed the file. You may want to search your system for other .la files without owning packages and remove them, too, to prevent any other possible issues like this.

I never recall doing anything with lib32 outside of portage/emerge. I certainly recall running la file fixer in the past. There were actually about 15 more la files in lib32 with no owner, now that I know where to look.
