Dear Maintainer,
In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
Enable support for the RISC-V architecture. This functionality was added
upstream in GDB version 8.2.1, but did not take effect in the gdb-multiarch
package because it maintains a whitelist of architectures to include (to keep
binary size small by eliminating rarely used ones). My undestanding is that the
list of supported architectures is meant to mirror binutils-multiarch, which
already includes RISC-V, meaning there shouldn't be any policy issues to adding
it here.
* Enable RISC-V architecture support.
Thanks for considering the patch.
