I did not propose "golang-any".
golang-any is a package that already exists. It exists to allow packages to build with "Google Go" (i.e. golang-go) on architectures where it is available and gccgo where it is not.
The suggestion was to change golang-any to depend on golang-go:native rather than just golang-go.
(The gccgo-go / golang-go split is another dimension to this, I guess to cross build with gccgo you need something like option 5)

The options were roughly:
1. golang-go (no cross compilation)
2. golang-go:native
3. golang-go (mark golang-go Multi-Arch: foreign)
4. golang-go:any (mark golang-go Multi-Arch: allowed)
5. golang-go-for-host or golang-go depending on the naming scheme.
(introduce <arch>-go wrappers)

Yes, I noticed that some libraries depend on the go compiler. However
that is mostly orthogonal to the cross building issue. When using one of
these libraries during cross compilation of other packages, dropping of
golang-go would be useful.
