Package: libgo9 Version: 6.2.0-4 Severity: normal Hi,
Recently, I modified golang-goprotobuf to use gccgo in non-native go arches, and found that it FTBFS in mips/mipsel/mps64el due to this error: fatal error: libgo built without FFI does not support reflect.Call or runtime.SetFinalizer Here is one of the build logs: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=golang-goprotobuf&arch=mips&ver=0.0~git20160815.0.7390af9-2&stamp=1474830436 I don't know if this is a mistake, or if there is a reason for this FFI support not being included in these arches, but without it, a big number of packages are BD-Uninstallable as they depend transitively on protobuf support. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages libgo9 depends on: ii gcc-6-base 6.2.0-4 ii libc6 2.24-3 ii libgcc1 1:6.2.0-4 libgo9 recommends no packages. libgo9 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
