The test case can be added now if you have a RISC-V toolchain.  I expect
the test code will
have to be conditionalized on whether the target architecture supports the
fenv.h methods.
This would be best implemented with  like AC_CHECK_FUNC and pick a method
like
fegetround() to probe for. That way as you add support for other
architectures, the test(s)
will automatically get enabled.

The alternative is like how libdebugger tests have to list specific
architectures that are
supported. That requires manual intervention (but is the only option for
libdebugger).
