The last we heard about RISC-V was this thread:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20161119230312.GA8656%40redhat.com
If things seem to work well now with --disable-spinlocks, maybe you
could test the patch suggested in that thread. TBH, though, my preference
would be for some assembly code rather than relying on GCC builtins
as Richard's patch did.
