[pkg-go] Bug#876639: libgo11: Please consider backport "libgo: use gc's arch names as the default GOARCHs on MIPS"

[Shengjing Zhu]

Package: libgo11
Version: 7.2.0-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Currently the pkg-go team uses gccgo to build Go packages on MIPS*
archs. However currently version of gccgo has different GOARCH name for
MIPS*.

Bug is reported at https://github.com/golang/go/issues/18031
And the fix is applied in trunk,
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/074bbd7b6a221b0446c73b3f4c2e1bf6cc7b2634

We currently need tricky way to build Go packages on MIPS*(as described
in https://github.com/golang/go/issues/18031#issuecomment-318574018 )

So I think backport this fix in gccgo can be really helpful.

Thanks
Shengjing Zhu
