It isn’t quite a TARGET_ARCH on mips either. I’d love to work with you
to use this stuff  MIPS turns out to be a harder nut to crack with this stuff
because it marks the different types of binaries differently and it looks harder
to parse.

For amv6 it is more of a transition thing, but I wanted to do it something
approaching “correct” so that we could leverage it for MIPS.

We should definitely chat about this. There’s some easy ways to mark the CHERI
binaries that are easier than others which would be quite helpful.

So we should chat about how this would be helpful on MIPS, and not just
CHERI-mips...
