Thanks a lot for this submission!

However, we already have some pending Go-related packages in our patch
queue. What I would like to see is a single patch series adding Go
support, which is approved by the different developers interested in Go
support in Buildroot.

The other Go patch series are:

  http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-February/151550.html
  (from Ludovic Guegan)

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/542108/
  (from Christian Stewart)

I have Cc'ed Ludovic and Christian. It would be good if you could sync
with them.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
