This patch to libgo only runs the networking dependent tests if GCCGO_RUN_ALL_TESTS is set in the environment. This is PR 48017. In that PR Rainer suggests having the tests drop back to UNSUPPORTED or UNRESOLVED if they fail to open a network connection. That is tempting but I don't agree with it, because it means that the tests will never fail. It might be better to have some way to test whether the network is available and usable before running the tests. However, that is in itself problematic, as people running all the gcc tests don't necessarily want their machine to start opening network connections. So I think the compromise of requiring an environment variable works well.
Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline. Ian
