Golang. Cross Compiling for MIPS - go

Question

I have tried compiling my simply program:
func main(){fmt.Printf("Hello")}
to MIPS architecture on my PC wit 64 bit Debian Linux according to documentation
https://golang.org/doc/install/source#environment
via using command
GOOS=linux GOARCH=mipsle go build
GOOS=linux GOARCH=mips go build
Every time I get the error:
runtime/internal/sys compile
unknown architecture "mipsle(mips)"
The interesting thing is, if a try using command:
GOOS=linux GOARCH=mipsle64 go build
The program was build.
Is it dependent on system OS on my PC ? How can I build a binary for MIPS or MIPSLE ?

Answer 1

Go 1.6 does not support MIPS or MIPSLE. 1.6 supports MIPS64(LE). 1.8 supports MIPS(LE).
From https://golang.org/doc/install/source:
amd64 (also known as x86-64)
A mature implementation.
386 (x86 or x86-32)
Comparable to the amd64 port.
arm (ARM)
Supports Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and Darwin binaries. Less widely used than the other ports.
arm64 (AArch64)
Supports Linux and Darwin binaries. New in 1.5 and not as well exercised as other ports.
ppc64, ppc64le (64-bit PowerPC big- and little-endian)
Supports Linux binaries. New in 1.5 and not as well exercised as other ports.
mips, mipsle (32-bit MIPS big- and little-endian)
Supports Linux binaries. New in 1.8 and not as well exercised as other ports.
mips64, mips64le (64-bit MIPS big- and little-endian)
Supports Linux binaries. New in 1.6 and not as well exercised as other ports.
s390x (IBM System z)
Supports Linux binaries. New in 1.7 and not as well exercised as other ports.
