When implementing the RISC-V port, I took the name of this macro at
face value. It appears we were mistaken in what this means, here's a
quote from the SPARC port that better describes what SLOW_BYTE_ACCESS
does
/* Nonzero if access to memory by bytes is slow and undesirable.
For RISC chips, it means that access to memory by bytes is no
better than access by words when possible, so grab a whole word
and maybe make use of that. */
I've added the comment to our port as well.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2017-08/msg00202.html for more
discussion. Thanks to Michael Clark and Andrew Pinski for the help!

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
