The previous version built just fine:

macmini:bin svacchanda$ ./port -v installed go
The following ports are currently installed:
  go @1.17.9_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2022-05-11T00:33:35+0800'

Given what folks have been able to accomplish with our other toolchain components - particularly rust, for example - is this not fixable...?

[catap (Kirill A. Korinsky)]

Christopher it does.

I do have unfinished work, but lack of time blocking me :)

@macportsraf, this ticket supersedes issue:52506

No worries Kirill. And glad to hear that a fix is on the horizon!

Do you know by chance if anyone tried fixing Go-1.4 for PPC? It is supposed to be bootstrappable from C sources, but in fact source code lacks necessary components (adding arch definitions isn’t enough). Should be still feasible, just time-consuming. Then, 1.9 has ppc32 support in one of its forks, I believe, but to build that we need some functional Go already.

I think something got broken elsewhere on Intel in Macports. I cannot build 1.17.9 now on 10.6.8 x86_64, while it worked before.

Either compiler choice changed or cctools. It is not Go as such.
