That's currently true, but it's likely to change the next days/weeks.
I'm working on binutils for mips64-linux, which requires (n)64 ABI.
Current state (with current CVS + large patch): At the moment it's
barely enough to create a 64bit Linux Kernel, no PIC code and so,
no DSO's possible.

There are some specs, e.g. at
ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/ .
