per that doc :

The Go 1 release will be available in source and binary form for at least
these platforms:

        FreeBSD 7+: amd64, 386
        Linux 2.6+: amd64, 386, arm
        OS X (Snow Leopard + Lion): amd64, 386
        Windows (2000 + later): amd64, 386

Therefore not on Solaris 10 or even a baseline Solaris 8 at all.

That seems to be an issue given this :

    People should be able to write Go programs and expect
    that they will continue to compile and run without
    change, on a timescale of years.

In keeping with the spirit of that vision what are the issues that block a
port to Solaris today? Are there specific bugids I can look at ?
