Fedora doesn't have a real RISC-V port yet.  If that changes, it implies
a mass rebuild on official infrasturcutr.

Debian doesn't do mass rebuilds.

But as far as I understand it, this change does not need a mass rebuild,
it's just necessary to rebuild glibc for the new crt files before the
binutils update.

Thanks,
