Gcc Go version 8 provides Go v1.10 .

An experimental port of GCC Go 8.0.1 is being made by BullFreeware and you can download snapshots for AIX 7.2 from: http://www.bullfreeware.com/go/go8.0.1/aix7.2/.

Snapshot 2018/03/05 for now.

A version for AIX 7.1 is available at: http://www.bullfreeware.com/go/go8.0.1/aix7.1/ .

Since AIX 6.1 does not enable to provide all features of Gcc Go (cgo cannot be ported), no version of GCC Go will be provided for AIX 6.1 .

GCC Go v8.2.0 (still Go v1.10) for AIX 7.2 has been produced. It contains an important fix for Go dealing with performance. Version for AIX 7.1 will come soon.

Port of golang v1.11 on AIX 7.2 (Power 8 & 9) is nearly done. A first beta version of the RPMs, with about the same amount of libgo tests failures, but without cgo, will be built and delivered soon.
