Bug#839132: libgo9: libgo built without FFI in mips*

[Martín Ferrari <tincho@debian.org>]

Package: libgo9
Version: 6.2.0-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

Recently, I modified golang-goprotobuf to use gccgo in non-native go arches,
and found that it FTBFS in mips/mipsel/mps64el due to this error:

  fatal error: libgo built without FFI does not support reflect.Call or runtime.SetFinalizer

Here is one of the build logs:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=golang-goprotobuf&arch=mips&ver=0.0~git20160815.0.7390af9-2&stamp=1474830436

I don't know if this is a mistake, or if there is a reason for this FFI support
not being included in these arches, but without it, a big number of packages
are BD-Uninstallable as they depend transitively on protobuf support.
