Ohh you are right, while, does mips*-linux without ABI section really matter?
I never hear about it is used for any real system.

I cannot reproduce it. My test result is:
null.o: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, MIPS, N32 MIPS64 version 1 (SYSV),
not stripped
                                                                   ^^

Yes. we should keep them sync. Since it has CPU `mipsisa64*`, so, I
think that we should
use N32 or N64.

Ohh, yes, my patch switch the default output of mips*isa64-linux to
N32 from O32.
I believe that it is an correct modification.
