I just checked in a Debian riscv64 chroot and they don't seem to
follow this recommendation:

  # cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/riscv64-linux-gnu.conf
  /usr/local/lib/riscv64-linux-gnu
  /lib/riscv64-linux-gnu
  /usr/lib/riscv64-linux-gnu

This matches what Debian does on all architectures, that is, install
libraries under fully arch-qualified paths. If Debian doesn't stray
from its usual practices for RISC-V, I'm not convinced that Fedora
needs to either.
