Since you're writing to binutils@, you may want to also mention what gas
bug you think you see. So far (also in the other mail) you've talked of
only gcc. If you meant to say that like in gcc you need to enable use of
the instructions in gas, then yes, that's the way the RISC-V assembler
works (like e.g. also the PPC one, but unlike e.g. the x86 one).
