Hi, We are making progress with GCC Go on AIX 6.1, with GCC 7 snapshot. Current issues are: - '$' character in assembler symbols. Replacing '$' by '_' is not a complete solution yet. Requires more study. - go command failure, due to: 'FFI Go closure' not being implemented on AIX yet. - still many errors in libgo tests Help is welcome. And we plan to share our patches starting next week. We are now checking our patches under FedoraCore25/PPC64 (BE) . Our plan is to bootstrap GoLang with GCC Go.
