Re: check mips abi x linker emulation compatibility

mips64-linux-gnu-abi64 and mips64-linux-gnu-abin32 are recognized by
glibc, a change I made after my initial mips64{n32,n64,o32} attempt
because it was rejected by the maintainer of config.{guess,sub}, and I
actually disliked it myself.  If you want to set the ABI, use the
existing convention of specifying it after linux-gnu, as done in
-altivec and other multi-abi systems.

/me thinks n32 should definitely be the default for mips64-linux-gnu,
in the absence of an explicit abi specification.
