Description
The supported extensions (e.g. vector and others) should not rely on the compiler. This is an insane decision - the flags should be controlled by the config, unless OpenSBI requires everyone to build their own compiler.

Research direction
Start by reading the issue discussion and tracing how supported extensions and compiler flags are currently selected in OpenSBI. Identify the configuration path and the assumptions that make extension support compiler-dependent. Done means the project has an agreed design for controlling these flags through configuration, with its required implementation and validation scope documented.
