Oops.... I am sorry...... when I say "MIPS64 architecture, I mean
Loongson 2* architecture, and Loongson 3 when it is commercially
released.  Perhaps as long as o32 works for Loongson 2 (say 2E and
2F), it is sensible to support o32 first, as Debian does, then we
worry about n32 and n64.  By the way, do o32, n32 and n64 require
different ubuntu ports?  Or can they all be included in the same port?

Since you are the insider in the official Loongson team, and you know
the best about the Loongson project, you are in a better position
writing the description, this is why I set you as an administrator,
and feel free to take a more active role in driving the Ubuntu
Loongson team.

Cheers,

kcleung
