Actually, it doesn't have -mabi=n32, but that command would run a set
of tests with something like `-mabi=64 -L<mumble>/mips-sgi-irix6.4/libf2c'
rather than `-mabi=64 -L<mumble>/mips-sgi-irix6.4/libf2c/mabi=64' and
lose when linking 32-bit and 64-bit object/library.

That's what I meant by it doesn't find the correct library.  Is that
clearer?

Obviously you're more multiliberal than am I since your testcases seem
to work...  What's the secret?

[One might wonder why the testsuite doesn't multiliberate by default,
though testers on ancient SPARcbeasts and such are probably glad it
doesn't.]
