The other pitfall is uClibc, which hasn't had a healthy development
process for most of a decade now and had its last release in 2012.

I'm slowly migrating over to musl-libc, which has its own toolchain
build (using current packages) at
https://github.com/richfelker/musl-cross-make

The hard part is we need cross _and_ native compilers to make aboriginal
work. Everybody makes cross compilers, nobody but me seems to make
native compilers. :(

A good first step would probably be to get risc-v support into musl?
