I noticed that I cannot build lang/go on a system with binutils 2.27.
The build of lang/go14 fails with funny linker errors like this:
cannot load DWARF output from $WORK/net/_obj//_cgo_.o: decoding dwarf section info at offset 0x4: unsupported version 0
The official solution is: Build go14 without CGO by adding
CGO_ENABLED=0 to the environment. My local patch for that looks like this:
diff -ruN -x CVS pkgsrc-cvs/lang/go14/Makefile pkgsrc/lang/go14/Makefile

next to all my other current patches for 2017Q2)
Now the question is: Do we want extra care to only do this for the case
of a fresh binutils being there or perhaps just generally, as this part
is not needed for a build of go14 for bootstrapping. Is anyone building
lang/go14 to actually install it? I imagine that every bit not strictly
necessary for that task will suffer massive bit rot over time and just
be a headache.
Alrighty then,
Thomas
