Source: gcc-4.7 Version: 4.7.1-6 Severity: normal gccgo requires binutils-gold in order to fully use gcc's split stack feature. As this feature is heavily used by the core language constructs of go, (namely "goroutines", which are conceptually light-weight threads) and has large performance inpacts, gccgo should Recommend: binutils-gold. (at least)
gcc currently only supports split stacks on x86, so this could be limited to x86 architectures until more architectures support split stack.
