[gentoo-musl] Compiling golang (dev-lang/go) against musl-libc

Hi,

I’ve attempted (and consequently failed) to compile go so I can install mongodb on my gentoo installation.

This appears to fail because the bootstrapped for go contains a binary dynamically linked against glibc, which is obviously going to fail.

Anyone have suggestions?

The only thing that comes to mind here is to perhaps try cross-compiling
it from a machine running glibc.

I haven't lost my mind...

Get dev-lang/go/go-1.4.2.ebuild from the portage git history. That's the
last version that does not require bootstrapping. Then move one minor
(1.x) version at a time up from there. Simply change GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP in
src_compile() to /usr/lib/go. For 1.5, you will need to symlink
/usr/bin/go into /usr/lib/go/bin; newer versions do that for you.
