I think you are running into the kernel bug linked from here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/117022#issuecomment-1841043719

[bjorn3]

Can we detect the kernel version in libstd's initialization code when on riscv and print a warning if the kernel is too old? That would save us from getting bugs reported every once in a while.
