We have the mechanism for disabling Go on systems where it will not
work. However, the list of such systems is undoubtedly incomplete at
this time.
In the top level configure.ac:
# Disable the go frontend on systems where it is known to not work. Please keep
# this in sync with contrib/config-list.mk.
case "${target}" in
*-*-darwin* | *-*-cygwin* | *-*-mingw* | *-*-aix*)
unsupported_languages="$unsupported_languages go"
;;
esac
# Disable libgo for some systems where it is known to not work.
# For testing, you can easily override this with --enable-libgo.
if test x$enable_libgo = x; then
case "${target}" in
*-*-darwin*)
# PR 46986
noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs target-libgo"
;;
*-*-cygwin* | *-*-mingw*)
noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs target-libgo"
;;
*-*-aix*)
noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs target-libgo"
