gccgo has its uses, for one it's more portable — it supports wider range of architectures than the reference toolchain, for example it can be built on Big Endian PowerPC65 machine like PowerMac G5 — not much practical use in it as a lot of external modules are targeted at the reference toolchain and fail to be built with gccgo unmodified. I think I have even managed to build it for 32-bit PowerPC — I can't do that anymore, some definitions are missing from latest gcc. I'd really like to though — this instance of mine runs on such a machine and I'd like to be able to host some software written in Go on in too, I really like the language (but not Google's involvement of course).

Yeah, that would be interesting :marseythinkorino:
