[pkg-golang-devel] Bug#879764: golang-1.9: enable mips, mips64el and mipsel

[James Cowgill]

Source: golang-1.9
Version: 1.9.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The patches to change the mips architecture names in gccgo to the ones
used by golang have now been backported into gcc-7 and are available
right now in unstable. I don't think there is anything stopping golang
from being built on mips64el anymore.

On mips and mipsel, the kernel waitid bug affecting gccgo (#867358) is
still not fixed on the buildds. Unfortunately it missed the most recent
stretch point release so it probably won't be fixed for a few months.
golang-1.9 can still be enabled on these architectures, but it might
take a few attempts to get it to build. On a kernel with the fix
applied, golang does build.

I've attached the patch I used to build golang-1.9.

Thanks,
James
