 The new mnemonics have been supported by GAS for a little while now and 
the old ones have been retained, however this is still a change that 
breaks backwards compatibility.  So I wonder if we shouldn't have an 
autoconf test included for this feature, and either resort to wiring GCC 
to keep using the old mnemonics or bail out at GCC compilation time if 
GAS is found not to handle the new ones.

 At the very least I think we ought to document the minimum version of 
binutils now required by GCC for RISC-V support.
