Subject: riscv: Fix build errors using binutils2.37 toolchains
From: Mingzheng Xing <xingmingzheng@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ef21fa7c198e04f3d3053b1c5b5f2b4b225c3350 upstream.
When building the kernel with binutils 2.37 and GCC-11.1.0/GCC-11.2.0,
the following error occurs:
Assembler messages:
Error: cannot find default versions of the ISA extension `zicsr'
Error: cannot find default versions of the ISA extension `zifencei'
The above error originated from this commit of binutils[0], which has been
resolved and backported by GCC-12.1.0[1] and GCC-11.3.0[2].
So fix this by change the GCC version in
CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_NEEDS_OLD_ISA_SPEC to GCC-11.3.0.

Certain versions of clang and GCC do not support zicsr and zifencei via
-march. This option causes an older ISA spec compatible with these older
