Re: [PATCH] RISC-V: Add Zama16b extension support
This confirms that a patch adding support for the RISC-V Zama16b extension to binutils has been committed. The change was made to BFD and gas, updating supported extensions and NEWS entries. This addresses an issue where binutils did not recognize the Zama16b extension, causing assembler errors.
