Does anyone know what the status of the llvm riscv backend is? I haven’t heard about it in a while.

rustc has support in-tree for

  riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf
  riscv32imc-unknown-none-elf
  riscv64gc-unknown-none-elf
  riscv64imac-unknown-none-elf

So, it's at least far enough along to have that turned on!

You have to

  $ rustup target add <triple>

to download the pre-compiled libraries, but then it should be a --target <triple> away! As far as I know anyway, I'm sure there are bugs since it's so new.

LLD just added support for that architecture with this release, so I assume it's still being actively developed.
