I wonder if this could be adapted to bootstrap the standard Go compiler on new architectures. Big if true.

- tptacek 7y agoIs that a problem the Go team has with their current compiler?
- inlined 7y agoMaybe? They wouldn’t be able to do the current bootstrap of each Go version being built with the previous but they could go back to the first release. There’s a canonical version where Go bootstrapping starts, so it might be possible to avoid fixing unportable C in the early days.
- eikenberry 7y agoDoesn't the GCC, and thus the GCC Go implementation, already cover more architectures than LLVM?
- sanxiyn 7y agoStandard Go compiler can be bootstrapped on new architectures with cross compilation. It does not need any new implementation.
