Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu trusty, I used to cross-compile Golang programs for ARM
devices, IIRC by installing the golang-go-linux-arm package. However,
these packages no longer exist in xenial, even though it is referred to
in the /usr/share/doc/golang-1.6-go/README.Debian file:
If you get an error message like this:
~/gocode/src/helloworld $ GOARCH=386 go build
go build runtime: linux/386 must be bootstrapped using make.bash
…you are missing the appropriate golang-go-$GOOS-$GOARCH debian package,
i.e. golang-go-linux-386 in this case.
Not sure how to get the missing stdlib linux_arm pkgs. Trying to cross-
compile for e.g. GOOS=arm on amd64 results in:
$ GOPATH=~/go GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=5 go install -v
github.com/qmsk/e2/cmd/tally
go install runtime/internal/sys: mkdir /usr/lib/go-1.6/pkg/linux_arm:
permission denied
