Wrong: GCC 2.x for IRIX 6 defaults to N32 (with N64 support available) and
cannot support O32 without hacks (like configuring for mips-sgi-irix5).
GCC 3.x is the same in this respect, but there's now a mips-sgi-irix6*o32
configuration to support O32 on IRIX 6, which I hope to integrate into the
common mips-sgi-irix6 configuration before GCC 3.4.

Unfortunately, the default may also depend on the machine and compiler
version used: e.g. R8000 machines defaulted to N64 with MIPSpro 7.3
compilers ;-( And there's also the issue of the ISA (instruction set
architecture) used. See abi(5) and mips_ext(5) for the whole picture.
