I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "breaks," here, as Go is never
in the set of default languages. It should only break builds that are
using --enable-languages=go. And for those targets, the Go support
has never worked, so they were already broken.
For Darwin I expect that only small fixes are needed. This is
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR46986.
For Windows the compiler probably only needs small fixes, but the
libgo build will need a bunch of support, particularly in the syscall
package. The support for Windows is mostly there in the code, because
it is in the master Go library, but it's not being built for libgo.
For AIX I'm not sure. It's probably not too much work.
Ian
