GCC 5 now supports Go 1.4 which is modern enough to make building Go programs practical for systems supported by OpenWrt. (Actually GCCGO which is the GCC-based golang compile which will build Go 1.4 projects but is a different stack than the standard golang environment which does not (to my knowledge) support a number of OpenWrt's architectures especially MIPS). So GCCGO support actually brings Go cross-building support to a number of platforms for which it was not previously available.
Go is not all that suitable for the smaller side of OpenWrt devices (e.g. 64MB RAM, 8 MB flash), but is potentially useful on more modern hardware, and/or where OpenWrt is being used on bigger iron (like x86_64 NAS projects). _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
