Groan, sorry, it seems to be a real regression on riscv (in binutils).
But because ld did see failures before buildbot seems to get confused
who to "blame"...

This issue flagged is:

Executing on host: /var/lib/buildbot/workers/sourceware/binutils-

    Remove accidental commit of an experimental change

So maybe this testcase accidentially succeeded on riscv, but was
supposed to fail?
