To cross build golang-1.6 or 1.7, you can get the patch from
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=828982,
and (on amd64 machine/chroot env)
     apt-get build-dep golang-1.7
     apt-get install gcc-6-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64

and then
     dpkg-buildpackage -B -amips64el -d

You will get the deb package for mips64el.

You can also download it from
       http://mips64el.sparklingly.org/ubuntu/pool/main/g/golang-1.6/

As we cannot install package on Debian porterbox,
you will need to unpack it and set path yourself.
