Musl has already had riscv support for a while. This version has added 32-bit support specifically.

I think we can say we finally have a libc for embedded usecases for RISC-V that require a full OS kernel?

Musl requires the Linux kernel to work.

Isn't Linux removing support for 32 bit though?

Not any time soon

Support in the mainline distributions and support in the kernel itself are two quite different things.
