+cc: stable, yeah?

Fixes the build for me w/ my awful config w/ gcc-13 + 2 different
binutils versions:
Tested-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley at microchip.com>

I still see issues with llvm-17, LLVM=1 & ld-2.35 in both purgatory and
regular modules:
  LD      arch/riscv/purgatory/purgatory.ro
/stuff/toolchains/binutils-2.35/bin/riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: -march=rv64i2p0_m2p0_a2p0_c2p0_zicsr2p0_zifencei2p0: Invalid or unknown z ISA extension: 'zifencei'

make[6]: *** [/stuff/linux/arch/riscv/purgatory/Makefile:95: arch/riscv/purgatory/purgatory.ro] Error 1

So probably still need to pick up some variant of my series I posted
earlier unfortunately:

Thanks!
