R_RISCV_CALL has already been deprecated, and replaced by R_RISCV_CALL_PLT.

See Enum 18-19 in Table 3. Relocation types from 
https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-elf.adoc 
.

It was deprecated in ("Deprecated R_RISCV_CALL, prefer 
R_RISCV_CALL_PLT") 
https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/commit/a0dced85018d7a0ec17023c9389cbd70b1dbc1b0
