Milestone
Description
In #31382, @mikioh asks an interesting questions about the maintenance of golang.org/x packages on gccgo.
How are we sure that the changes made in golang.org/x will work on gccgo ?
For Go toolchain, they are builders on every GOOS/GOARCH which check that it's working but what about the Gccgo toolchain ? Do we assume that if it works on Go, it must work on Gccgo ?
The core code of each package should indeed work, after all that's just Go code. But what about special gccgo files, like in x/sys/unix for syscalls, or all the Go assembly files which cannot be built on gccgo, like in x/crypto ?
