No, it supports different bfd vectors. These are necessary due to
  - RELA instead of REL
  - Always 64 bit wide registers
  - Combined relocs in n32 (several relocs can sum up for one address,
    this is only partially implemented yet)

Furthermore there is little documentation about how 64 bit o64/no-ABI
support works in elf32-mips.c, I don't want to mess it up accidentially.
