 Huh?  Is that a joke?  From the o32 psABI's point of view a MIPS64 CPU is 
exactly the same as a MIPS32 one (for whatever ISA revision), so there's 
nothing to support there really other than the CPU/ISA name.

 As much as I dislike all the hacks the Clang community seems to come up 
with for the shortcomings of their tool there has to be a saner workaround 
available rather than forcibly disabling support for the o32 ABI with 
CONFIG_64BIT kernels, but the report is missing the compiler invocation 
line triggering the issue (V=1 perhaps?), which should be included with 
any commit description anyway, so I can't suggest anything based on the 
limited information provided.
