This is regrettable.

Jim has no interest in embedded cross toolchains, but this does not mean that 
there are no plans to accept `riscv-`, as proven by my binary distribution.

Jim anyway solved the config.gcc configuration, so the initial concerns were no 
longer a priority.


If you decide to permanently deny `riscv-`, I'll no longer maintain the 
embedded RISC-V toolchain, which, in my opinion, requires it.
