Still missing an ldd_rewrite_script setting as mentioned as needed for
multi-ABI support in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-01/msg00008.html> and
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-01/msg00521.html>.
The most important thing to figure out at this point - and then stick to
(changing your mind after the start of the freeze is not a good way to get
a port into 2.27) - is the choice of exactly what architecture and ABI
combinations are supported by the port, as that determines what changes
are needed to have an internally consistent port without lots of
untestable code for unsupported combinations, and a significant proportion
of issues from the patch reviews of multiple versions of the RISC-V port
have been inconsistencies regarding what is supposed to be supported
(especially when the choice has changed between versions of the port,
without the changes being carried out consistently through the whole patch
series).
