I'm still building away on riscv64-linux. I have some minor changes,
namely renaming target-riscv? to target-riscv64? As far as cuirass
support I have it officially unsupported in %hydra-supported-systems (or
whatever that variable is called). I've tried to keep the patches so
that they can be applied without interfering with the other
architectures. At this point as far as I know it's waiting for another
pair of eyes or so to say it looks OK to merge.
