Hi Dan,

Please see https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4061.

My attempt to fix this issue
(https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/93831) was not accepted due to
the concerns that it can cause weird issues in CI.

So, we are left with either support gcc <12 or gcc >=12. We can mandate
gcc 12 itself for RISC-V, but that change need to be done hand in hand
with CI tests moving to use gcc 12. Otherwise, it will break CI.

Let me check with CI owners on their roadmap to move to gcc 12.

Thanks,
Sunil
