I thought of doing that too , so can prefix these warnings with 'mte builtin' if that's what you meant. But the intrinsic called kind of names same thing (__arm_mte_..).

The builtin name (e.g. _mte_irg) is reflecting the instruction that implements the otherwise meaningful ACLE names  (mte_create_tag). Its just that the instruction names are sometimes cryptic (e.g. stg, ldg). I could change the names to __builtin_arm_create_tag etc and push the meaningful name -> insn level name to intrinsic level or further down but that would mean lots of name changes to current patch and tests.
