do you know a better choice?

The problem on mips* is not g++-multilib but the parameter "-m64" for gcc. 
Somewhere I read that -mabi=64 is default on mips, but 'gcc -dumpspecs' 
tells me:
   *multilib_defaults:
   EB mips1 mabi=32
I guess I am totally confused now :-(. Can you please point me in the 
right direction?
