Uh, "and mips64 means mips3 isn't confusing"?  8-)

So, at least the way things are going now, it looks like
"mips64-linux" tools (both binutils and gcc) will/should support all
three ABIs, with the default being n32.

I don't know that there's any reason to support an abi=64 default set
of tools, since really, people shouldn't be using abi=64 except with
certain extreme cases IMO.  (more space for no gain.)

You need to do a little bit of work to get the glibc's all built, but
from what Alex has indicated to me the glibc folks aren't gonna bite
on configure CPU names w/ ABIs in them, so you have to do that anyway.
