Using the latest version of riscv-gcc, the benchmarks compile incorrectly: memset() is compiled with a recursive call, just as described in riscvarchive/riscv-gcc#197. This leads to an infinite recursion and ultimately to a crash due to a stack overflow. Here is the corresponding part of dhrystone.riscv.dump compiled with the latest versions of riscv-tests and riscv-gcc:

As suggested in riscvarchive/riscv-gcc#197, compiling with -fno-builtin resolves this issue. However, I could not check how this impacts performance across platforms.
