README.md: drop dead tool reference

The URL https://riscv.org/software-status/ doesn't work anymore and
for all modern distros, the supplied tools will work just fine.  I
suspect most will find this the easier path.

@ -6,12 +6,11 @@ PicoRV32 is a CPU core that implements the [RISC-V RV32IMC Instruction Set](http
It can be configured as RV32E, RV32I, RV32IC, RV32IM, or RV32IMC core, and optionally
contains a built-in interrupt controller.
Tools (gcc, binutils, etc..) can be obtained via the [RISC-V Website](https://riscv.org/software-status/).
The examples bundled with PicoRV32 expect various RV32 toolchains to be installed in `/opt/riscv32i[m][c]`. See
the [build instructions below](#building-a-pure-rv32i-toolchain) for details.
Many Linux distributions now include the tools for RISC-V (for example
Ubuntu 20.04 has `gcc-riscv64-unknown-elf`). To compile using those set
`TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX` accordingly (eg. `make TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=riscv64-unknown-elf-`).
Alternatively, see the [build instructions below](#building-a-pure-rv32i-toolchain)
to build the toolsfrom source.
