Hmm. I do not think this is a good decision. There are
Systems like the O2 (R10K and R5K) and the Indy (R5K), which
are mips4 capable, but run IRIX6.5 in 32-bit mode.
Also, all R4400 based desktop machines can do mips3 (it is
the default in IRIX6.5), but run IRIX in 32-bit mode.
Making 64-bit the default for mips3/mips4 limits the useability
to the systems running IRIX64.
