Do they document that?

It looks like their doc is pretty old, because in Documentation/Changes
it is mentioned:
   GNU C                  5.1              gcc --version

And RISC-V support in GCC wad added after 7.0 or so...

But there is also the following words:

   This document is originally based on my "Changes" file for 2.0.x
   kernels
   and therefore owes credit to the same people as that file (Jared
   Mauch,
   Axel Boldt, Alessandro Sigala, and countless other users all over
   the
   'net).

Probably the doc wasn't updated for a long time, but at the same time
there is a line with Rust:
   
   Rust (optional)        1.62.0           rustc --version
