gccgo version and go version

[Henrik Johansson]

Hi,

I found a build today in Arch linux repos http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/gcc-go/ and it is of gcc version 4.6.2-5 and is build 2011-12-27.

I guess I could ask the maintainers of the Arch repo to find out but the general question belongs here I think. 

How is the release schedule of gcc-go in terms of gcc/go release schedule?

It seems to fail om imports and loads of basic stuff so my guess is that it is still r60.

Will Go 1 make it in the 4.7 release and will proper goroutines make it in by then as well? What I can tell, 4.7 is aimed at March-April.

The gccgo compiler is released as part of gcc.

My intent is that the gcc 4.7 release will be a complete Go 1
implementation. The gcc 4.7 release will include the new multiplexing
goroutines implementation.
