The truth is that RISC-V is a supported architecture for LLVM and is capable of 
self hosting.

If Debian is unable to build the LLVM packages (which, on Debian, are built 
with GCC) then that says a lot more about Debian and GCC than it does about 
LLVM.  Saying that Debian is unable to build LLVM packages on RISC-V is very 
different from saying that RISC-V is not supported by LLVM and intentionally 
conflating the two is misleading.

Since I started writing this, I have read the next mail from you in this thread 
and I would strongly suggest that you take a little break from the computer and 
come back when you can manage to engage in the discussion without being 
offensive.
