BTW, because of this kind of problem, does it even make sense that
when talking to a mips64 kernel but using an o32 rda (or gdbserver
8-), you'd use a "mips64" protocol?  I.e., why wouldn't it just use
the 32-bit mips protocol, since from you're debugging a 32-bit binary
with a 32-bit debugging daemon...

Yeah, the kernel's 64 bits, but that's pretty much irrelevant...
