I think this is missing the update of the libgo version number.

I committed a patch to libgo to update the library to the first
release candidate of the upcoming Go 1.8 release.  This is a big
update, mostly a straight copy of the code in the master Go library.

I made the following changes to the Go frontend to correspond to
changes in the runtime library:

* Change map assignment to use mapassign and assign value directly.
* Change string iteration to use decoderune, faster for ASCII strings.
* Change makeslice to take int, and use makeslice64 for larger values.
* Add new noverflow field to hmap struct used for maps.

There are two known problems that I simply commented out of test code
until they can be fixed:

* Commented out test in go/types/sizes_test.go that doesn't compile.
* Commented out reflect.TestStructOf test for padding after zero-sized field.

As usual with these sorts of updates the patch is too large to send to
the mailing list.  I've appended the changes to the gccgo-specific
parts of the code.

Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  I would not
be terribly surprised if this breaks Solaris.  I'll try to check that
out shortly.
