Remove go from the i486/i686 blacklist?

Go 1.16 did not drop pre-SSE2 processor support.
What had been removed was x87 support for pre-SSE2 processors, which means you could not utilize the hardware float instructions with Go on a Pentium MMX anymore.  The GO386=387 option was also removed, but a new option GO386=softfloat was introduced at the same time.

I did not figure out how to make asp32 work:

$ asp32 checkout go
fatal: unable to update url base from redirection:
  asked for: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
   redirect: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/explore/groups
error: failed to update remote packages64

So I started porting work with a PKGBUILD from my amd64 Arch install. Here are my modified PKGBUILD:

I chrooted into i486 Arch32 rootfs on a powerful amd64 machine, and set Architecture=pentium4 in /etc/pacman.conf to temporarily install the packaged go-2:1.17.3-1.1 as the host compiler.  Makepkg bootstrapped smoothly, and produced a fully usable i586 go compiler.
However it failed later in syscall unit tests (due to lack of permissions in chroot jail), hence I skipped the syscall test to produce a tar ball:

--- i/PKGBUILD
+++ w/PKGBUILD
@@ -49,5 +49,5 @@ check() {
   export GO_TEST_TIMEOUT_SCALE=3

   cd $pkgname/src
-  ./run.bash --no-rebuild -v -v -v -k
+  ./run.bash --no-rebuild -v -v -v -k -run "!syscall"
 }

After upgrading to the built go-2:1.17.5-1-i486.pkg.tar.zst, the pentium4 go package was automatically removed, so I connected the disk back to my MMX, and run go tool dist test --no-rebuild -v -v -v -k again there.  Not surprisingly, all syscall tests passed.

I'm aware that the go compiler never supported i486 in the history, either as the host or as the target.  The minimum hardware requirement is Pentium MMX.  But I still chose arch=(i486) in PKGBUILD, otherwise makepkg would refuse to work and complain:

==> ERROR: go is not available for the 'i486' architecture.

I did not investigate further, since I'll use the package on i586, and declare the i586 binary as i686 will not help in this case anyway smile

Re: Remove go from the i486/i686 blacklist?

Sorry for the late answer, your post somehow got lost in my RSS notifier. :-)

Yeah, will should definitely try to build go on i486, I need it personally for hugo and yay, so.. :-)

asp32 export community/go

should work.

You can try to use the devtools32 on a 64-bit host to build in a 486 chroot with staging-i486-build,
so the test would pass, as the host has MMX, but most likely the resulting go would still contain
some non-486 stuff..
