. We also need to be able to DIY them, and therefore we need to have access to the right tools so we can create (or, as an option, order) the chips by ourselves;) Also, we need a tool to (that is easy to) design the chips too, so we can build them later:D
But, at a start, this action is a very good one...
SiFive is working on this exact problem--to let DIYs get access to real, packaged, custom silicon based on either your specification or with your RTL. Stay tuned for some announcements coming up at next weeks (11/29) RISC-V workshop.
There is huge momentum behind the RISC-V software ecosystem, and you can see a partial list of all the software that has been written for RISC-V here:

Some highlights:
Binutils, GCC, OpenOCD, LLVM, Linux, Fedora, Debian, FreeBSD
