Sorry, I thought I addressed your concern with my comment right below it
but I probably should have worded it better.

Sure, that is a completely reasonable concern. However...

No, it does not, CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_LEB128 can still be enabled
when GNU as supports this construct for a particular architecture; as
far as I can tell, RISC-V is the only one that doesn't. See the tests
with ARCH=arm64 and ARCH=x86_64 compared with ARCH=riscv below.
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=0 defconfig
$ rg "CONFIG_AS_(IS|VERSION|HAS)" .config
9:CONFIG_AS_IS_GNU=y
10:CONFIG_AS_VERSION=23950
4750:CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_LEB128=y
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=0 defconfig
$ rg "CONFIG_AS_(IS|VERSION|HAS)" .config
