This patch doesn't represent a strict lower bound for GCC and
GNU Binutils; rather, these versions are specifically employed by
the Xen RISC-V container and are anticipated to undergo continuous
testing. Older GCC and GNU Binutils would work,
but this is not a guarantee.

While it is feasible to utilize Clang, it's important to note that,
currently, there is no Xen RISC-V CI job in place to verify the
seamless functioning of the build with Clang.
