Yes. The MIPS r6 is quite new, and the machine that you have should be pre-r6.

It is defined by gcc/llvm.
For gcc:
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/41d6b10e96a1de98e90a7c0378437c3255814b16/gcc/config/mips/mips.h#L527

We don't think run-time probe is a good idea, since we treat r6 as a
new architectures.
It has it own port of OS, like Debian.
Runtime probe make none sense here.
