`rv-virt:nsh64` can't build with stock gcc-riscv64-unknown-elf on Ubuntu Jammy

[yf13]

When buildling rv-virt:nsh64 with the stock toolchain installed via sudo apt install gcc-riscv64-unknown-elf on Ubuntu 22.04, I got the following error:

$ make

   44 | #include <math.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~

This is a know issue. Ubuntu release of RISC-V GCC is compiled without math libs. We can do nothing with that, but you can enable NuttX native math libraries support via CONFIG_ LIBM=y and still use RISC-V GCC provided by Ubuntu apt or pick another more mature toolchain

[pkarashchenko]

Closing this. Please re-open if needed.

@pkarashchenko thanks! I wasn't able to find an explanation in historical issues or documents, thus raised it here. Just confirmed that CONFIG_LIBM works well.

[pkarashchenko]

Yeah, it is not in docs since we are not managing tools created externally, but there was some discussion in one of the PRs
