Public bug reported: First problem (need to report, so you know how to reproduce it): ioe@laforge:~/sources/github/go/play$ go build -compiler gccgo go build github.com/nightlyone/play: exec: "gccgo": executable file not found in $PATH
Easily worked around with installing this small script called "gccgo" in the $PATH or a manual symlink. #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/gccgo-4.7 $@ Next problem (the one to be actually reported): ioe@laforge:~/sources/github/go/play$ go build -compiler gccgo # github.com/nightlyone/play /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status This can be fixed with extending the script "gccgo" in the $PATH like this: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/gccgo-4.7 -static-libgcc -B/usr/bin/ld.gold $@ After this change I can compile binaries and libraries.
