Technically, Go binaries for the 32-bit x86 architecture depend on 686 (like Rust). Could the “386” architecture known to GOARCH and
go build
be renamed to reflect this dependence?To be sure, some other tech stacks, including Debian, label their 686 ports as “386”. However, this is misleading, and in fact most modern 686 software will fail to run on pre-Pentium hardware.
