The canonical example for this does still remain MIPS I believe.

The most common ABIs in MIPS are:
o32, n32 - Both in Gentoo releases
n64 - Was experimentally done in Gentoo 
(default-linux/mips/2007.1-dev/generic-be/n64)
o64, eabi, meabi, nubi - Not sure if they were were ever released in any way.

Crossdev DOES support the full swath of these last I checked it.
