N64 uses 64 bit archives, while ar (or rather BFD) assumes 32 bit as default and falls over its feet when it should switch to 64 bit.

I have just reviewed your patch, please find my comments inline (parts
where I agree have been removed).
Please note also that I used a modified version of this patch (mainly
because the glibc has changed since you reported the bug) to bootstrap
32-bit and 64-bit glibc/gcc/zlib on mips. You can find all the
corresponding packages on:

What about providing lib32c-dev instead? It seems more "standard"
compared to the other ports, and it also have the advantage for other
biarch packages to use a unique name across all the architectures.
Note also that the other architectures does not encode the ABI name in
32-bit or 64-bit packages. I mean that the package is not called for
example libi386c-dev and the libgcc package is called lib32gcc1-dev and
not libi386gcc1-dev.

I have concerned with this. I understand that is is a workaround
necessary to currently build the glibc, however, I would prefer to have
a fixed binutils instead of that.
Note that such a hack is also necessary to build zlib, so I think it is
virtually necessary for all 64-bit stuff.

Please enable tri-arch support for the MIPS platforms. The attached
patch (And corresponding patch for gcc #341882) provide support for n32
& n64 ABIs in addition to the current o32 ABI. These patches have been
tested by building n32 & n64 version of the ltp packages.
