Current evaluation

Closed unmerged after the author split it into #1338 (cross-compilation), #1343 (CGo cross-compile), #1346 (multi-arch build deps) and #1348 (foreign arch setup). #1338 (a167ec4a3) and #1343 (55fe00c67) were merged.

Resolution: closed superseded

Reason: The PR was never merged as-is; kalikiana split it into smaller PRs, of which #1338 (commit a167ec4a3) and #1343 (commit 55fe00c67) were merged, landing Go/CGo cross-compilation for --target-arch. #1346 was also closed unmerged.
