gccgo was fixed in gcc-7 a few weeks ago and I've filed a bug against
golang-1.9 already. Since golang-defaults already points to golang-1.9
in unstable, I am guessing that older versions are now irrelevant for mips.

I suggest:
- Apply the patch in #879764 to golang-1.9.
- Remove the mips binaries from golang-1.8 (or remove 1.8 entirely).
- Enable mips in golang-defaults.

A reply from the golang maintainers would be very helpful in all of this...

Thanks,
James
