;; According to https://golang.org/doc/install/gccgo, gccgo-4.8.2 includes a
;; complete go-1.1.2 implementation, gccgo-4.9 includes a complete go-1.2
;; implementation, and gccgo-5 a complete implementation of go-1.4. Ultimately
;; we hope to build go-1.5+ with a bootstrap process using gccgo-5. As of
;; go-1.5, go cannot be bootstrapped without go-1.4, so we need to use go-1.4 or
;; gccgo-5. Mips is not officially supported, but it should work if it is
;; bootstrapped.
;; According to https://go.dev/doc/install/gccgo, gccgo-11 includes a complete
;; implementation of go-1.16 and gccgo-12 includes a complete implementation of
;; go-1.18. Starting with go-1.5 go cannot be built without an existing
;; installation of go, so we need to use go-1.4 or gccgo. For architectures which
;; are not supported with go-1.4 we use a version of gccgo to bootstrap them.
