Consider hoisting this 'depends on AS_IS_GNU' into its own configuration
option, as the same dependency is present in CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ZBB
for the exact same reason, with no comment as to why. By having a shared
dependency configuration option, we can easily update it when that
change is merged into LLVM proper and gain access to the current and
future options that depend on it. I imagine something like:

config AS_HAS_OPTION_ARCH
    bool
    default y
    # https://reviews.llvm.org/D123515
    depends on AS_IS_GNU

config TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ZBB
    bool
    default y
    depends on !64BIT || $(cc-option,-mabi=lp64 -march=rv64ima_zbb)
    depends on !32BIT || $(cc-option,-mabi=ilp32 -march=rv32ima_zbb)
    depends on LLD_VERSION >= 150000 || LD_VERSION >= 23900
    depends on AS_HAS_OPTION_ARCH

config TOOLCHAIN_HAS_V
    bool
    default y
    depends on !64BIT || $(cc-option,-mabi=lp64 -march=rv64iv)
    depends on !32BIT || $(cc-option,-mabi=ilp32 -march=rv32iv)
    depends on LLD_VERSION >= 140000 || LD_VERSION >= 23800
    depends on AS_HAS_OPTION_ARCH

It would be nice if it was a hard error for LLVM like GCC so that we
could just dynamically check support via as-instr but a version check is
not the end of the world when we know the versions.

  $ cat test.s
  .option arch, +v

  $ cat test-invalid.s
  .option arch, +vv

  $ clang --target=riscv64-linux-gnu -c -o /dev/null test.s
  test.s:1:13: warning: unknown option, expected 'push', 'pop', 'rvc', 'norvc', 'relax' or 'norelax'
  .option arch, +v
              ^

  $ clang --target=riscv64-linux-gnu -c -o /dev/null test-invalid.s
  test-invalid.s:1:13: warning: unknown option, expected 'push', 'pop', 'rvc', 'norvc', 'relax' or 'norelax'
  .option arch, +vv
              ^

  $ riscv64-linux-gcc -c -o /dev/null test.s

  $ riscv64-linux-gcc -c -o /dev/null test-invalid.s
  test-invalid.s: Assembler messages:
  test-invalid.s:1: Error: unknown ISA extension `vv' in .option arch `+vv'

As a side note, 'bool + default y' is the same as 'def_bool y', if you
wanted to same some space.
