I think of this as exactly the same as all the other cases where we look
up particular ELF values in the context of an e_machine value (and for
which I added C6X cases) - for example, what get_dynamic type does for
values between DT_LOPROC and DT_HIPROC. That is, as a bug fix made
necessary by C6X using values known also to be used on other
architectures.
Is the binutils/ patch all OK now?
