So, assuming that this is about porting Go to the GNU/Hurd system, you
need to be aware that some work has been done by Svante Signell. He
managed to get the thing built, but apparently there are some runtime
issues, just taking a random package for instance:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=golang-github-eknkc-amber&arch=hurd-i386&ver=0.0~git20161231.0.9be5e8a-1&stamp=1484728210&raw=0

fatal error: unexpected signal during runtime execution

Also, he focused on gccgo for a start, but we need to propagate the work
to google's golang.  If you could check with him what is left, what to
do, etc. that'd be great :)
