The triplet for o32 is:

mips-os-linux

The triplet to n64 is:

mips64-os-linux

The triplet to n32 is:

mips64-os-linux

thus w/o the ABI extension there is no mechanism to distinguish between n64 and n32.

Configure with a MIPS64 capable machine (yes qemumips64 is adequate).  Then add
the following to your local.conf:

require conf/multilib.conf
DEFAULTTUNE = "mips32r2"

MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32 multilib:lib64"
DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "mips64-n32"
DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib64 = "mips64"


This will set the default ABI to 'o32', with optional n32 and n64 support.  (You
can switch around the defaulttune values to change which is default and which is
optional.  A common config is n32 default, o32 / n64 optional.)

Looks to me that when binutils was upgraded, the rename of the arch component
broke in some way.  The arch renaming used by the cross-canadian toolchain
components SHOULD have changed things to me "mips64-n32" in the n32 case.  This
is the purpose of the ABIEXTENSION being added to the 'TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH'
in arch-mips.conf.  See commit: 0bcc01121e928d0be7a0550e500425852c63cf98 for
additional details.

(The commit msg includes the configuration listed above as well.)
