The following testcase fails to build when using go built from master golang for ppc64le. I pulled the latest source yesterday and built it.

The same test builds and runs successfully with golang on x86_64, and with latest gccgo from trunk on ppc64le.

func main() {
    cs := C.CString("Hello, world from C\n")
    C.fputs(cs, (*C.FILE)(C.stdout))
    C.free(unsafe.Pointer(cs))
}

Yes, our ppc64le build is currently broken: http://build.golang.org/

@bradfitz bradfitz added this to the Go1.5Maybe milestone Apr 9, 2015

internal linking doesn't support stdout.

Even on the well supported linux/amd64, internal linking will fail
to run your example program.

I take a brief look on the linux/amd64 issue.

We are using stdout@plt to reference stdout! How could that ever
work? Maybe it's a cmd/6l problem, but I'm not sure.
(Note the address of stdout passed to fputs is: 0x680006f22225ff,
which is the instructions: jmpq *0x6f222(%rip), pushq $00
used in the plt.)

I thought the problem for stdout was that it uses the COPY relocation,
but apparently after external linking is introduced, internal linking
with stdout regressed. I will dig more and file a separate issue.

The PPC64 problem is unrelated to that though. It's because our
internal linking does not handle R_PPC64_SECTOFF relocation.

Dup of #9411?

When I build golang from master for use with ppc64le I add my own set of
patches as I describe here #11184
because master is missing support for external linking on ppc64le.

If I build using these patches, then the error no longer occurs with
this testcase on ppc64le.

This works on ppc64le now that the patches from 11184 are upstream.
