 The compiler specified in `config/riscv32/chips/hazard3/chip.cfg` is `/opt/riscv/unstable/bin/riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc`, which is where I have an unstable GCC 12 build installed on my machine. You need to have a recent upstream master build to support the Zba/Zbb/Zbc/Zbs instructions. If you don't care about these, you can use whatever `riscv32-unknown-elf` compiler you have, and also edit `cflags` in that `.cfg` file to not include the bitmanip extensions in `march`.
+
+You can also add `--sim-parallel` to the `benchmark_speed` for faster simulations.
