Thanks again, Ill try to learn the rpctrace syntax.

Hi again, below is the terminal output when running bug347.x causing rpctrace to
hang at gsync_wait, even with your patches. Unfortunately the libgo.so.12.0.0
library is needed too. I'll put these files on
darnassus.sceen.net/~gnu_srs/gccgo-8 together with the rpctrace output. 

I'll also put the executable bug348.x together with the rpctrace for it there.
For this file rpctrace finishes, child exiting with code 2. I still don't know
where the problems arise. (I'm not very fluent in rpctrace) The terminal output
from running bug348.x is given below too.

This problems persists from gcc-6 (and earlier) to gcc-8. In case you need the
shared libraries and the executables from earlier builds, please let me know. 

/part2/DEBs/gcc-8/gcc-8-8-20171209-1.1/build/gcc/testsuite/go/bug347.x
BUG: bug347: cannot find caller
Illegal instruction

BUG: bug348: cannot find caller
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

And FYI: gdb is totally unusable, the only output is threads are created an then
a hard hang of gdb, only resolvable with kill -9 from another terminal. I tried
to start another gdb on /hurd/ext2fs an attaching to the hanged process but did
not succeed. Maybe something was not made in the right way.
