I've re-tested these patches in isolation and have committed them
to mainline. I'm currently submitting the Go portions for the
upstream review, and hope to have to libffi merge complete soon.
I think it's important that the change to Go using the static chain
happen before gcc5, as it represents an ABI change. Our next opportunity
to fix the bulk of the non-x86 targets would be gcc6 in a year's time.
Agreed. I also feel like we're at a particularly interesting time for
gcc-go -- there's a fairly high degree of interest particularly due to
the portability of gcc-go to the non-x86 targets. If we were to wait on
this stuff, I fear the momentum we've built up would disappear.
