** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ After installing "gosu" on Bionic/Focal on ppc64el, attempts to run the
+ resulting "gosu" binary result in the following error message:
+ 
+     gosu: error while loading shared libraries: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA reloc
+ at 0x00000b41bcc7af58 for symbol `' out of range
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+ You will need a ppc64el machine in order to test this.  This bug happens
+ on Bionic and Focal.
+ 
+ # apt update
+ # apt install gosu
+ # gosu nobody true
+ gosu: error while loading shared libraries: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA reloc at 
0x00000abd18d0af58 for symbol `' out of range
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+ This particular update is not able to cause any regressions, because the
+ software did not work before it.  One can always say that there is a
+ chance for a regression when rebuilding an old package from Bionic
+ against newer libraries, but in this case I think the chances are slim
+ to none, especially because gosu depends on very few libraries (which is
+ unusual for a Golang application).

+ [Original Description]

  After installing "gosu" on Bionic on ppc64el, attempts to run the
  resulting "gosu" binary result in the following error message:
  
      gosu: error while loading shared libraries: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA reloc
  at 0x00000b41bcc7af58 for symbol `' out of range
  
  I spoke briefly with mwhudson about it (recalling he might've dealt with
  similar issues previously) and he suggested it probably needs a rebuild
  and asked me to file a bug. :)
  
  (Something something PIC something something PIE something something Go
  toolchain.)
