As support was merged into the mainline kernel at 4.15 it is unlikely
3.8.0 is the correct value. Indeed when I testing binaries created by
the current Debian SID compiler the tests failed with:

  FATAL: kernel too old

If I understand this correctly, this will make host kernels older than
4.15.0 look like 4.15.0 when a program running in user-mode emulation on a
RISC-V system?

Yes. Typically you want to set this to whatever glibc has
baked in as its arch_minimum_kernel, which in this case
does seem to be 4.15.0:

Sounds good, thanks!
