this broke Solaris bootstrap:
* On i386-pc-solaris2.11:
/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libgo/go/runtime/os_gccgo.go:43:12: error:
reference to undefined name 'startupRandomData'
43 | if startupRandomData != nil {
| ^
/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libgo/go/runtime/os_gccgo.go:44:30: error:
reference to undefined name 'startupRandomData'
44 | n := copy(r, startupRandomData)
| ^
startupRandomData is only defined in go/runtime/os_linux.go and relies
on AT_RANDOM in the aux vector which is Linux-only AFAICT. For the
moment, I've just commented that part of the code since it tries
/dev/urandom next.
One could also use getentropy instead.
* sparc-sun-solaris2.11 is worse:
/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libgo/go/internal/cpu/cpu.go:123:9: error:
reference to undefined name 'doinit'
123 | doinit()
| ^
/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libgo/go/golang.org/x/sys/cpu/cpu.go:199:9: error:
reference to undefined name ‘archInit’
199 | archInit()
| ^
/vol/gcc/src/hg/master/local/libgo/go/golang.org/x/sys/cpu/cpu.go:200:9: error:
reference to undefined name ‘initOptions’
200 | initOptions()
| ^
I've used dummy implementations to get along for now.
