This reverts commit bd9810e176273914eca1208bcba23f0de9e446b3. Indeed,
while uClibc-ng has support for RISC-V 64-bit, this support lacks the
__riscv_flush_icache() function call, which is used by some GCC
builtins used for example in libffi.

Due to this missing __riscv_flush_icache(), anything that links
against libffi fails to build:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Note that this commit means that
support/config-fragments/autobuild/br-riscv64-full-internal.config
will be back to using glibc as the C library, but that is OK, until
uClibc-ng is fixed to implemented __riscv_flush_icache().

This uClibc-ng issue has been reported upstream at
https://mailman.uclibc-ng.org/pipermail/devel/2020-August/002022.html.

Applied to master, thanks.

OTOH, I was wondering why we were not adding an exclusion in the
genrandconfig script, like we do for all the other libffi limitations...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Hello Yann,

Our libffi exclusions in genrandconfig are really when there is no
support for a given CPU architecture in libffi.

In the situation we're talking about, libffi does have support for
RISC-V 64-bit. The limitation is not in libffi, but in uClibc-ng.

We could certainly have handled that by an autobuilder exception, but
I've never been a big fan of such autobuilder exceptions. That being
said, if the general feeling is that an autobuilder exception is a
better way of avoiding those build failures, I'm fine with changing to
that solution.

Best regards,

Thomas
