You mean the issue with "traditional" versus IRIX emulation. Hmm...

I think we have other tests that fail if the default emulation is neither
of {o32,n32} and I think the reason is different -m options would have to
be used based on what o32 for the given target actually means, so I am
leaving the decision to the maintainers. I do not seem to see any attempt
to address the issue in a systematic way in the test suite at the moment
and certainly I would not expect you to be requested to implement it as a
prerequisite for your change (unless you actually want to, that is!).
