 I agree with you -- I think the "-mabi=" option is best left having no 
influence on "-march=".  OTOH, using mipsisa32-* tools for building n32 or 
(n)64 binaries may make sense, especially when done occasionally only 
which would not justify obtaining a full 64-bit setup.  It may even 
actually work for non-trivial builds as long as they are free-standing, 
including, but probably not limited to the Linux kernel.
