Linkers usually use emulation strings rather than target triples. This documents the existing emula I have included: - The little endian emulation strings: `elf32lriscv`/`elf64lriscv` (supported by GNU and Clang/LLD) - The big endian emulation strings: `elf32briscv`/`elf64briscv` (supported by GNU only at this time) I have not documented any emulation strings with ABI suffixes, as used by GNU, as Clang/LLD has taken a specific decision not to support these: https://reviews.llvm.org/D95755 If we decide more emulation strings are needed, they can come in a follow-up change.

@lenary, are we introducing GNU-specific elements into the Toolchain Conventions by listing these emulation types? If linkers aren’t required to support them, what is the value in documenting them here? |

These aren't GNU Specific, as I understand. LLD does support them for naming the emulation (but LLD does not yet have RISC-V Big-endian support) |
