I've attached what my current go patches are. Here[1] is codemac's go packages.
quoting codemac from mid-january:
They still fail if you ever link against anything that dynamically links
against glibc. This means any go program that uses the net, os/user,
runtime or cgo packages fail to execute complaining they can't find
libgcc_s. I've tried just about everything imagineable, and it's unclear
to me how the nix gcc + glibc packages differ from the guix ones.
I'd love help / suggestions, I use golang at my day job so I'm motivated
to get this fixed. I have a pretty good idea of what the go package
system could look like for guix without us distributing PILES of
statically linked go poop as well, but that's a separate discussion.
I haven't tested it so much yet, never actually coded in go. Tzdata is
bundled, but it wouldn't be the only program we have with tzdata being
bundled, and after codemac's issues with go programs after replacing it, I'm
not really in a rush to do so.
