I realized that in the amd64 implementation of MakeFunc I forgot that
it's not OK to just take the address of a value on the stack, since the
function might hang onto the address. The value needs to be copied onto
the heap first. This patch implements that. Bootstrapped and ran Go
testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline and 4.8
branch.
