The whole discussion is relevant only to cross toolchains intended to generate 
code for embedded devices, where the -march/-mabi is and must be always given 
explicitly, there is no need to guess anything, and the shorter prefix `riscv-` 
reduces confusion.

Native toolchains should probably retain the explicit bitsize in the prefix, as 
they do now.
