[DEV] Proposal to drop PPC64 BE support in the next version of Golang

(1/1)

tle:
See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/76244

It's unfortunate that Go might drop support for PPC64BE for real. That means many Golang-based softwares will cease running on POWER8 or even POWER5 G5 PowerMac.

pkubaj:
AFAIK Go already requires at least POWER8 even on big-endian. So even in the current state the binaries won't run on G5.

ClassicHasClass:
gccgo should still work.
