riscv isn't an architecture that is built or tested with meta-virt, so
while it might be feasible, I don't even know what work would be required
to get all the components building for the architecture.

Clearly the flags we are using in the recipe don't work for riscv (or
perhaps they are being added by the docker Makefiles themselves .. I'm not
on my typical setup so I can't check), so that's the first thing to
investigate and then work through the issues.

Patches to fix the build for the architecture would be accepted, but
there's no one that I know of who's currently working on support.
