Go (golang) package, patched for the RPi

[robodonut]

Since the package in the main repo is incompatible with the Raspberry Pi (something to do with the FPU instruction set), I've tweaked an existing pkgbuild from the AUR to produce one that is compatible. i.e., it targets ARM 6 and has this patch applied.

Please note that this hasn't been thoroughly tested, so don't proceed if you're not volunteering to be a guinea pig.

The ABS (PKGBUILD and supporting files) source package:

And the resulting binary package:
http://www.mediafire.com/?yacoiauq3i4xp7x

If anyone uses it, would you please report your success/catastropic failure so that I can confirm that it is (or isn't) in good working order?

Not working for me.

-arm would denote a v5 package, softfloat.

is the version in the repository still incompatible? i also tried compiling from source and the build seems to have worked, but running go i still get SIGILL.

thx

edit: my fail, the compiled version did work after all.
