Sascha, List

The go release 59 package in factory has some issues, the binaries compiled 
from Go sources are problematic, godoc, goinstall, gofmt, gofix at least 
segfault for me on 12.1 beta 1. 

Sascha, the compiler/linker (written in C) etc seem unaffected so I'm 
wondering if stripping the go binaries was (re)enabled in that package 
revision?

Anyhow, the release 60 release in devel:languages:go seems fine. Just building 
a package for yesterdays 60.2 micro release... I've made a couple of tweaks to 
the package and a minor patch to the linker to allow gdb to use go specific 
pretty printer and helper functions. Sascha would you please review it when i 
submitreq it to D:L:Go? I'll start fixing up the other lib packages that need 
updated against r60.

This got me thinking, binaries and libraries built from the gccgo 
implementation should have native support in gdb, but I don't see a GCC front 
end for Go, now that we are on GCC 4.6 do we build this at all? 

The gccgo implementation seems to be in reasonably good shape these days and; 
as far as I know, while still a bit slower to compile than the Plan 9 style 
compilers, it does produce faster code.  I'd like to see us have the gccgo 
frontend for go as well as the native implementation, is this something the 
GCC maintainers would consider or should I take this on myself?

Cheers the noo,
Graham
