This change includes changes in `c1_Runtime` for platforms (arm32, ppc, riscv, and s390) that I unfortunately couldn't test.
@RealFYang could you or someone you know please run some tests (e.g. tier1-3) for RISCV to make sure my change doesn't break anything? @bulasevich could I ask you the same for ARM32 and @TheRealMDoerr for PPC please? Thank you very much!
