Given the freeze is coming this weekend, I spent some time fixing this issue, as well as a few others
once this issue is fixed. Basically, I needed the following patch to fix the compile and
make chack-abi errors:

That said, I went a little further and made a couple more changes to stpncpy.c to make our
implementation use the macros defined in ifunc-init.h similar to x86_64's. I'm including
the full updated patch below which includes some comment fixes in the stpncpy.S file too.
I plan on pushing this commit tomorrow unless someone notices a problem with it.

riscv: Add RVV stpncpy for both multiarch and non-multiarch builds
This patch adds an RVV-optimized implementation of stpncpy for RISC-V and
enables it for both multiarch (IFUNC) and non-multiarch builds.
The implementation integrates Hau Hsu's 2023 RVV work under a unified
ifunc-based framework. A vectorized version (__stpncpy_vector) is added
alongside the generic fallback (__stpncpy_generic). The runtime resolver
selects the RVV variant when RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_IMA_EXT_0 reports vector
support (RVV).
Currently, the resolver still selects the RVV variant even when the RVV
extension is disabled via prctl(). As a consequence, any process that
has RVV disabled via prctl() will receive SIGILL when calling stpncpy().
