I was wondering if the stock, pre-built, linaro toolchain (Ref:
https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries ) had the GO language enabled in its configuration.
(There was some past history on including it at that project.)
Short answer: No, it doesn't, only C/C++/Fortran
Short note: They also use crosstool-ng for the builds, read the topmost 'readme' green bar and grab the ct-ng at the second green bar.
The long answer:
The major difference is that Linaro has adopted hard float (a useful thing to do with the i.MX6 VFP3 co-processor).
The build in this thread is soft float.
My 'ARMhf on Kindle' set of system libraries is built to be compatible, but not specificly for the i.MX6.
