[[!meta title="Enable Google Go programming (GCC: gccgo)"]]

[[!tag open_issue_gcc]]

Make the [Google Go programming language](http://golang.org/) available on
GNU/Hurd in its [[GCC]] *gccgo* implementation, and enable Hurd-specific
features.

There is a [[!FF_project 263]][[!tag bounty]] on this task.

# Part I

First, make the language functional, have its test suite pass without errors.

## Svante's work

Per [[!message-id "1335509732.3707.179.camel@hp.my.own.domain"]], Svante has
been working on this, has some (unpublished) patches, and this is currently
blocked on [[`getcontext`/`setcontext`|open_issues/glibc/t/tls-threadvar]].

# Part II

Next, Hurd-specific features can be added.  Add an interface to the
language/environment for being able to do [[RPC]] calls, in order to program
[[hurd/translator]]s natively in the Google Go programming language.
