"The bitrot will continue until morale improves."
Go 1.4 is only used as a bootstrap helper to compile a more recent Go.
However, cgo in 1.4 no longer works with current binutils.
Prodded by Thomas Orgis on the mailing list.
go14 has no relro support AFAICT.
go-1.8.3 has if you use -buildmode=pie, but it claims it's not supported
on Linux.
Disable relro checking for go packages until bsiegert has time to
look at this.
The issues were reported in Go's net/http package. They affect programs using
that package to proxy HTTP requests. We recommend that all users upgrade to Go
1.5, which fixes these issues. For users unable to upgrade to Go 1.5, we have
released version 1.4.3, which is based on Go 1.4.2 plus fixes for these issues.
Affected Go programs—those that use the net/http package as a proxy server—must
be recompiled with Go 1.5 or Go 1.4.3 to receive the fixes.
