It can be 12.2.0 for GCC and 2.39 for GNU Binutils. ( it is toolchain
which is used by contrainer for RISC-V in Xen ). I'll update versions
then.

But could you please explain again why it can't be 13.2.1 ( it is a
version which I have in my distribution, so it is the reason why I used
this version in README file ) ?
