Description

Currently we download a prebuilt version and patch it up. We probably want to build it from source with nix derivation directly.

Research direction

Start by locating the derivation that downloads and patches the prebuilt RISC-V toolchain, then trace how the resulting toolchain is exposed by the package. Confirm the source-build inputs and derivation behavior before changing it; done means the toolchain builds directly from source without the current prebuilt download-and-patch step.
