    media-libs/libffado: keyword 2.4.4-r1 for -riscv
    
    src_configure dies with
    
    "Trying to find the system triple: admin/config.guess: unable to guess system type
    
    This script, last modified 2013-06-10, has failed to recognize
    the operating system you are using."
    
    With the latest config.guess version from
    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.guess
    (dated 2021-06-03 at the time of me writing this) the ebuild emerges
    fine but - but the two versions differ so much that I'd rather have the
    maintainers decide if they want to update this file or not.

    media-libs/libffado: use newer config.guess
    
    Needed for libffado to build successfully on riscv. Doesn't seem to
    break anything on previously supported arches - or at least not on
    amd64.
    
    Invoking maintainer time-out.
