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

[Sergio Durigan Junior]

I did a test rebuild on Jammy, and the current golang-1.18 can build
itself on ppc64el just fine:

https://launchpad.net/~sergiodj/+archive/ubuntu/golang-rebuild/+packages

Therefore, I'm:

- Lowering this bug's priority to "Low" on Jammy;

- Removing the server-todo tag;

- Unassigning this bug to myself, as I have other, more urgent things on
my plate.

If someone feels like tackling this and backporting the fix to Jammy,
feel free to ping if you need a sponsorship.

** Changed in: golang-1.18 (Ubuntu Jammy)
   Importance: Critical => Low

** Changed in: golang-1.18 (Ubuntu Jammy)
     Assignee: Sergio Durigan Junior (sergiodj) => (unassigned)

** Tags removed: server-todo

  Failure to link a PIE binary on ppc64el (FTBFS)

Status in Go:
  Fix Released
Status in golang-1.18 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
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.
