disabled ada, now ftbs with go.

if you care about the Pi Zero, then please get involved upstream. 
Listening to ARM guys, armv5t doesn't seem to raise any interest these days.

Also having LLVM build failures, still targeting armv4t didn't raise any 
attention to the Debian armel porters.

So let's just say there is no man power to address issues, and probably 
also lack of interest.
