Hi! One of the recent upstream developments for golang sees adding support for the sparc64 architecture [1]. While this code has not been merged into the official golang repositories yet, it's basically feature complete and allows to bootstrap golang on sparc64 with the testsuite passing all tests. Currently, this port supports Solaris as the host operating system only, however, support for OpenBSD/sparc64 and Linux/sparc64 will be added in the near future as it will require rather little work to port golang to these targets with generic sparc64 support already being in place. I have opened an issue on the github project page for the sparc64 port and have forwarded this bugreport to it [2]. Once bootstrapping golang on Linux/sparc64 is possible, we will build the initial golang-1.x package for sparc64 and upload it to 'unreleased' and possibly attach a patch to this bug report which adds sparc64 support to the current golang-1.x package in Debian so sparc64 can be enabled as an additional architecture for golang in Debian. Thanks, Adrian > [1] https://github.com/4ad/go > [2] https://github.com/4ad/go/issues/18 -- .''`.
