(First-time post; please let me know if this is the wrong place to ask or if I missed a previous post or issue when I searched. I'm willing to file in https://github.com/golang/go/issues/new if that's the agreed way to keep track, or to wait until I understand the linker infrastructure on ppc64le and can propose a fix.)
I have the impression that Go mostly achieves reproducible builds, but that ppc64le is less widely used and so no one has reported the issue yet. ### What version of Go are you using (`go version`)? go1.11.2 ### Does this issue reproduce with the latest release? yes ### What operating system and processor architecture are you using (`go env`)? Ubuntu ppc64le ### What did you do? Compared go binary built from source bootstrapping from Ubuntu packed go1.11.2 and cross-compiled go from amd64. ### What did you expect to see? byte-for-byte identical ### What did you see instead? <pre> ├── readelf --wide --symbols {} │ @@ -14983,15 +14983,15 @@ │ 14903: 0000000010926730 8 OBJECT LOCAL DEFAULT 28 cgo_context_function │ 14904: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS gcc_linux_ppc64x.c │ 14905: 0000000010414b50 128 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT [<localentry>: 8] 13 threadentry │ 14906: 0000000010926738 8 OBJECT LOCAL DEFAULT 28 setg_gcc │ 14907: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS gcc_setenv.c │ 14908: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS gcc_traceback.c │ 14909: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS gcc_util.c │ - 14910: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS /tmp/go-link-201992677/000014.o │ + 14910: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS /tmp/go-link-967081304/000014.o │ 14911: 0000000010414ff0 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 13 saveregs │ 14912: 0000000010415084 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 13 restoreregs │ 14913: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS crtstuff.c │ 14914: 00000000108a749c 0 OBJECT LOCAL DEFAULT 19 __FRAME_END__ │ 14915: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS │ 14916: 00000000100016e0 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 13 00000018.plt_call.pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.17 │ 14917: 0000000010001500 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 13 00000018.plt_call.fwrite@@GLIBC_2.17 </pre> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
