There is a new pull request by fosslinux against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/fosslinux/void-packages go-bootstrap https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/26953 Go 1.4 bootstrap This PR reintroduces the C Go bootstrap for supported architectures, which was removed over a year ago. **Why use the C Go bootstrap:** - Allows Go to be bootstrapped without a pre-existing version of Go. - Doesn't require gcompat on musl, which is often buggy. - Allows for flexibility in the way the binaries are used in the bootstrap. - https://bootstrappable.org Furthermore, this doesn't drop any architecture support, as architectures that were not supported by Go 1.4 (namely, ppc) can still be bootstrapped via binaries. @q66 Can you check this still works on ppc? @the-maldridge maintainer A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/26953.patch is attached
