[Bug 1542080] Re: Needs tar/xattr support to build docker

[dann frazier]

I prepared a docker PPA with this update and asked our QA team to run
some tests on it. Even though the binary builds and runs, we're still
seeing docker crashes based on the older version of gccgo in trusty, so
it still doesn't make sense to enable docker for gccgo in trusty at this
time.

A fix for this is pending in the SRU queue - I'll ask an SRU team member
to reject.

Title:
  Needs tar/xattr support to build docker

Status in gccgo-4.9 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gccgo-4.9 source package in Trusty:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  docker.io does not build on archs that require gccgo.

  [Test Case]
  Build docker.io in trusty on an arch that requires gccgo. I used arm64.
  (Also need patch in LP: #1510288)

  [Regression Risk]
  This is an upstream patch that applies cleanly (other than file tree rearrangements), and it is adding new functionality.
