Many games, multimedia apps (native FFMPEG libs), and other apps that require native C/C++ libs would require a recompile/translation for RISC-V.

FFMPEG has a RISC-V port. We're yet to try it, but I did successfully compile it to target RISC-V vector extensions.

Not Android, but Box86 already works on RISC-V, even already running games on top of Wine and DXVK: https://youtu.be/qHLKB39xVkw

It redirects calls to x86 libraries to native RISC-V versions of the library.

Most FLOSS libraries are already ported over thanks to GNU/Linux.
