Before this patch:

$ ./configure

ERROR: Unsupported CPU = riscv64, try --enable-tcg-interpreter

$ ./configure --enable-tcg-interpreter
Unsupported CPU = riscv64, will use TCG with TCI (experimental)

[...]

WARNING: SUPPORT FOR THIS HOST CPU WILL GO AWAY IN FUTURE RELEASES!

CPU host architecture riscv64 support is not currently maintained.
The QEMU project intends to remove support for this host CPU in
a future release if nobody volunteers to maintain it and to
provide a build host for our continuous integration setup.
configure has succeeded and you can continue to build, but
if you care about QEMU on this platform you should contact
us upstream at address@hidden

It is unlikely the RISC-V port goes away in the next future releases :)

With this patch we can now build/use QEMU tools such qemu-img qemu-io
qemu-nbd ivshmem-client ivshmem-server scsi/qemu-pr-helper
qemu-bridge-helper qemu-keymap fsdev/virtfs-proxy-helper qemu-ga
vhost-user-scsi vhost-user-blk.

This is still not enough for system/user emulation, but this is
certainly an improvement, a starting point for the built system tests
(we have other crippled targets such TriCore).
