 I guess maybe they are trying to dump an object which writes
vector instructions by .insn directives, so the elf architecture attribute
or mapping symbols won't have v.  I will suggest two solutions here rather
than just modify the default_arch,
1. using -Mmax option
2. Allow to set the default arch from the configure option, like what gas
did before.  Not sure if it is possible to find a way to share the
configure set both for gas and opcode (assembler and dis-assembler).

BTW, force setting default_arch to rv64gc or whatever in dis-assembler
isn't really good, I think that I just forgot to update it before.  So I
sent a patch to let riscv_parse_subset unify the default architecture
both for assembler and dis-assembler from the riscv_all_supported_ext table.
