[Bug 1973107] Re: Failure to link a PIE binary on ppc64el (FTBFS)

[Sergio Durigan Junior]

I had to revert the patch in Kinetic because it was causing
golang-1.18.2 to fail to compile itself on ppc64el.  After some more
investigation and help from upstream, I finally have the couple of
patches needed to be backported in order to fix this bug fully.

That's why I'm setting this bug as In Progress again.

** Changed in: golang-1.18 (Ubuntu Kinetic)

Title:
  Failure to link a PIE binary on ppc64el (FTBFS)

Status in Go:
  Fix Released
Status in golang-1.18 package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in golang-1.18 source package in Jammy:
  Confirmed
Status in golang-1.18 source package in Kinetic:

Bug description:
  golang-1.18 fails to link a PIE binary on ppc64el, which is causing
  FTBFSes in other packages (telegraf, in my case), including an FTBFS
  while building golang-1.18 itself on that architecture.

  There's an upstream bug & fix available, and I intend to work on
  backporting them.  I'll probably need to do a two-stage upload in
  order to be able to fully build the fixed golang compiler on ppc64el,
  though.
