Hi, Thanks for CCing me on this. I have been involved in the RISC-V community for awhile and I am interested in getting Racket on RISC-V. I have started porting Chez to RISC-V as a side project as currently I have no clients paying me to do so. Therefore, as you would expect, it's going slow. The good news is that the little porting I did is online[1] and I am accepting PRs. :)
If I can help with anything else please let me know. Things are slow on my side until the 7th as I am on holiday but I will read all the racket related messages by then and reply if I see I have anything to add.
