Summary

Add linux_riscv64 wheels to the build matrix.

Changes

  • Add riscv64 matrix entry (ubuntu-latest) to build-wheels.yml
  • Add QEMU setup step for riscv64 emulation on x86_64 runners

Evidence

Context

  • manylinux_2_28_riscv64 is available in pypa/manylinux
  • cibuildwheel 3.x supports riscv64 via QEMU
  • Several packages already ship riscv64 wheels: aiohttp, yarl, multidict, propcache
  • RISC-V hardware is shipping (SiFive, SpacemiT, Sophgo SG2044)

Ref: #986


Note: this work is part of the RISE Project effort to improve Python ecosystem support on riscv64 platforms. Native riscv64 CI runners are available for free via RISE RISC-V runners.

Add QEMU emulation for riscv64 and include riscv64 in the build matrix
so that linux_riscv64 wheels are built alongside existing architectures.
