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
