 Replying to [comment:3 mascguy]:

 components - particularly `rust`, for example - is this not fixable...?

 Do you know by chance if anyone tried fixing Go-1.4 for PPC? It is
 supposed to be bootstrappable from C sources, but in fact source code
 lacks necessary components (adding arch definitions isn’t enough). Should
 be still feasible, just time-consuming.
 Then, 1.9 has ppc32 support in one of its forks, I believe, but to build
 that we need some functional Go already.
