Description
## Observed Behavior
make run-simple-system fails to compile simple program
ibex/examples/sw/simple_system/common/simple_system_common.c:40: Error: unrecognized opcode `csrw minstret,x0', extension `zicsr' required
## Expected Behavior
make run-simple-system compiles simple program
## Steps to reproduce the issue
### Setup virtual environment
1. python -m venv ~/.ibex-eda/
2. . ~/.ibex-eda/bin/activate
3. pip install mako
4. pip install packaging
### build system
1. . ~/.ibex-eda/bin/activate
2. git clone https://github.com/olofk/edalize.git
3. cd edalize
4. pip install .
5. cd ..
6. git clone https://github.com/lowRISC/fusesoc.git
7. cd fusesoc
8. pip install .
9. cd ..
11. git clone https://github.com/lowRISC/ibex.git
12. ./util/ibex_config.py small fusesoc_opts
`--RV32E=0 --RV32M=ibex_pkg::RV32MFast --RV32B=ibex_pkg::RV32BNone --RegFile=ibex_pkg::RegFileFF --BranchTargetALU=0 --WritebackStage=0 --ICache=0 --ICacheECC=0 --ICacheScramble=0 --BranchPredictor=0 --DbgTriggerEn=0 --SecureIbex=0 --PMPEnable=0 --PMPGranularity=0 --PMPNumRegions=4 --MHPMCounterNum=0 --MHPMCounterWidth=40`
13. ./util/check_tool_requirements.py
`INFO: Tool verilator present: Sufficiently recent version (found 5.028; needed 4.210)
INFO: Tool edalize present: Sufficiently recent version (found 0.6.2.dev2+g1eedb7f; needed 0.2.0)`
14. make build-simple-system
15. make run-simple-system
As a quick aside having the above steps would be helpful in the documentation.

Research direction
Start with the make run-simple-system target and ibex/examples/sw/simple_system/common/simple_system_common.c:40, then review the reported compiler error and the tool versions from check_tool_requirements.py. Reproduce the failure using the documented setup and determine what change is needed for the simple system to compile with the reported toolchain.
