------------------------+--------------------
 After uninstalling the `go @1.17.13` and `go-1.4 @1.4.3_1` ports from my
 laptop with OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), I’d reïnstalled `go-1.4 @1.4.3_1` to
 try my hand at compiling Go 1.10.8 [the last supported version of Go on
 Mavericks] from source, and the compilation process emitted a warning that
 it was unable to find `runtime/cgo.a` before producing a fatal error:

 {{{

 Should a `runtime/cgo.a` file have been installed as part of the `go-1.4
 @1.4.3_1` port? There are numerous files within the
 `/opt/local/lib/go-1.4` directory hierarchy that begin with “cgo”,
 including (but not limited to) a `./src/runtime/cgo` directory, but a
 “cgo.a” file was nowhere within that directory hierarchy.

 I don’t know whether or not the fatal error above was caused by the
 absence of the `runtime/cgo.a` file.

 No notes were included with the `go-1.4 @1.4.3_1` port, so I don’t know if
 any or all of the `GO_EXTLINK_ENABLED`, `GO_LDFLAGS`, and `CGO_LDFLAGS`
 environment variables (which were mentioned in the notes of the `go
 @1.17.13` port) need to be set to allow compilation of supported versions
 of Go from source using the `go-1.4 @1.4.3_1` port.
