compiling with gccgo from packaged binaries

[kortschak]

This is really an ubuntu issue, but I thought I'd ask here since I'm likely to get a better answer, faster.

I've installed gccgo from debs from the ubuntu 12.04 repositories, but gccgo fails with:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

No gcc package for 4.7 provides libgcc_s as far as I can see. Have other people tried this? What is a solution?

thanks

Resolved:

go build -compiler gccgo -gccgoflags '-static-libgcc'

On my Ubuntu Lucid system, it's in the libgcc1 package. I don't know if
it has moved around since then.

(I saw that you resolved your issue anyhow.)

Yes, it seems that libgcc_s is provided for gcc <= 4.6, but not 4.7. The
fix I found was explained as due to the absence of dynamically linked
libraries with gccgo-4.7:
