We already merged config.sub patches into binutils and gcc, and added
riscv-* support to them.  So at this point I think we just have to
allow riscv-*-* even though we don't want it.  I don't expect to use
it and I don't expect to maintain it, but some stubborn people will
never give up on it, so we have to allow it.

I don't care about Liviu, but there is a riscv-rtems port rolling out.
We had agreement to expand riscv-rtems to riscv32-rtems at config.sub
time, but then you modified config.sub to remove the riscv->riscv32
conversion, so the riscv-rtems port went out as just riscv-rtems and
we can't drop support for that now.
