Also, we are working on persuading the RISC-V community that they

will try to get changes to the following packages upstream and won't
even consider making changes in Fedora (IOW we'll be shipping forks of
these packages for a while):

[For glibc, binutils, gcc, kernel only]

The “IOW“ part does not really make sense to me.

I mean that currently the changes to those packages are very invasive
and also involve substantial non-upstream patchsets.

I want those patchsets to go upstream first, and for the other
differences in the spec file to be substantially reduced or eliminated.

I had a brief look at the glibc patches. Apparently, off_t and time_t are 32-bit. For a new architecture, that's quite strange. How fixed is the ABI?
