Yes, I think that is the best solution here, yes. We certainly need
to use the compat version for .tbl files that only have one entry
but do use the compat ones (mips n32, arm64 aarch32), and using it
everywhere helps remove another special case here.

Side note: in the long run, I would hope we can remove those
intermediate macros entirely and just output a readable version
of the switch/case style top-level function that x86 generates
from the table.
