Please update the ebuild for dev-db/firebird to v4.0.2 so that RISCV64 Support can be added.
Any progress on this?
Any updates on updating this to the current version of Firebird 5.0 or greater?

Can I ask if you really use firebird? It's not easy to maintain at all and we're strongly considering removing it.
Its used by app-office/libreoffice when enabled.
