Indeed: the documentation may not be clear enough about this, though.

You often see something like
make[4]: [Makefile:3354: check-am] Error 2 (ignored)
when make -k is used, and I missed that '(ignored)' part in your make
check output fragment, that's all.

Thanks. Before trying a backport, we probably should go for the
different solution Richard suggested, though.

This won't help right now: libgo's configure will only look for objcopy
(or sparc64-sun-solaris2.10-objcopy in your case) and doesn't know about
gobjcopy.
AFAICS toplevel configure checks for the g-prefixed tools and passes the
result to gcc/configure which heeds them, while libgo/configure does
not.
Probably an issue for a separate libgo bug report.
