[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

And 1.6 is in xenial now. So this shouldn't be a problem any more.

Title:
  fails to build with PIE enabled by default

Status in golang package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If you build go on a system with PIE enabled by default (currently
  only xenial/s390x) the build fails because go invokes gcc with -Wl,-r
  and ld complains about mixing -r and -pie. The fix is to pass -no-pie
  as well, but aggravatingly this flag is only supported on xenial: we
  can't just patch go to always pass it. This could be fixed in a
  xenial-only distro patch but I'd much rather fix it upstream so that
  people can just install go from source -- but I don't see how to do
  that.
