Sorry, the same change is applied to LLVM but not yet on GCC (because I
forgot to add "Signed-off-by" line).  I sent PATCH v2 to gcc-patches
today so that would be okay.  On PATCH v2, I made the same change to
gcc/config/riscv/arch-canonicalize script (not just
gcc/common/config/riscv/riscv-common.cc).
