Public bug reported: I installed the golang-1.6 package for trusty and tried to cross-compile a trivial hello world program for armv5
GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=5 go build hello.go When running the program on an actual arm machine though, the resulting hello executable crashes with "Illegal Instruction". This same command with the official golang 1.6 Linux binary from the go website creates a working executable, so I am guessing that there is some compile option that is different in Ubuntu and that it probably has to to with floating points. armv5 should be using soft float instead of VFP. ** Affects: golang-1.6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to golang-1.6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1564518 Title: Illegal instruction when cross compiling for armv5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-1.6/+bug/1564518/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
