If that has changed it was certainly not intentional.  As Khem said the expected 
GNU canonical archs are:

mips-*-*
mipsel-*-*
mips64-*-*
mips64el-*-*

mips32 should work, but it was not expected to have changed.

Looking through, the GNU canonical arch should only match the above.  The 
namings in the tmp/work directory are strictly following the -package arch- 
namings, which don't affect system configuration.

I checked the logs from my test builds, and the mips32* reused the mips* builds 
because the canonical arch of the configuration and such were the same.

(Looked at config.log in a couple of packages...)  if you see mips32-* in the 
config.log, let me know.
