Is the strictness of the o32 ABI a reason why there's two linkers for MIPSPro? One handles both 'new' ABIs, the other is dedicated to o32.

A weird aspect of MIPSPro from my relatively amateur experience is that you're limited to using the cc driver with o32 and thus c89. I suspect that MIPSPro as we know it is partially composed of IDO-era holdovers for o32 and was only rewritten/reworked for n32/n64 ABIs. I could very well be incorrect here however so I'm not stating this as fact but only a theory.
