I'd just set a minimum version of the assembler necessary for RISC-V 
support rather than catering to old versions of the tools.  Meaning I'd 
just drop this patch entirely and instead update the manual/documentation.

RISC-V support has matured significantly through the years and requiring 
reasonably modern tooling seems OK to me.
