From version 2.38, binutils default to ISA spec version 20191213. This means that the csr read/write (csrr*/csrw*) instructions and fence.i instruction has separated from the `I` extension, become two standalone extensions: Zicsr and Zifencei. As the kernel uses those instruction, this causes the following build failure:

The fix is to specify those extensions explicitely in -march. However as older binutils version do not support this, we first need to detect that.

Thanks, this is on fixes. It's CC stable, but doesn't have a "Fixes" tag -- I did that on purpose as this isn't really fixing a bug in Linux so I'm not sure it's right to point at a particular patch, but I'm not sure how that will play with the stable tree.
