Ok - this is more like x86_32 binaries running on x86_64 kernel. Not
sure why you'd call this a MIPS64 ABI then.
Either way, I'm happy to apply the patch if you're able to
configure/run "make check" on n32 with the patch and get results
comparable to n64, although I really prefer that we break MIPS support
into two different archs.
