The matrix of MIPS ISA and ABIs supported on Linux is:
(fixed pitch font time)

               o32    n32    n64
MIPS I         o
MIPS II        o
MIPS III       o      o       o
MIPS IV        o      o       o
MIPS32(r1)     o
MIPS32R2       o
MIPS64(r1)     o      o       o
MIPS64R2       o      o       o

(blank is not supported)

MIPS16 is a bare-iron thing, along with other tweaks like using a 64bit 
FPU inside a 32bit world.
