On mips we actually want to support three ABIs o32 (which goes into /lib and which is what we currently support), n32 (/lib32, improved calling conventions and floating point performance, 64bit wide register but 32bit address space) and n64 (/lib64). I've played with n32/n64 and can build statically linked binaries easily. I also started to build a dl'ed n32 userspace. The problems Gotom mentions are mostly resolved now. > More to the point: how can I help this effort on mips64?

We don't have any publically available biarch debian packages yet. I was hoping to look into how much our packaging tools support (bi,tri)-arch nowadays soon. What is the exact status of this?
