Hello everybody,
good news: the core parts of the RISC-V Linux kernel port have
been merged into the upstream kernel repository today:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b293fca43be544483b6488d33ad4b3ed55881064
So the way for getting RISC-V support into glibc is now open.
Regards,
Karsten
