Go patch committed: Add explicit checks for division zero and overflow

This patch to the Go compiler and runtime adds explicit checks for division by zero and for division overflow (INT_MIN / -1). In Go, a division by zero is supposed to produce a panic; that did not happen on processors like PPC that do not issue a SIGFPE signal on division by zero. This patch fixe
