  <description>This update to go 1.7 fixes the following issues:

- Standard library missing __.PKGDEF headers (boo#964546)
- update to go1.7.0 (boo#996303)

The changes in go 1.7 are in the implementation of the toolchain,
runtime, and libraries. There is one minor change to the language
specification.

The release adds a port to IBM LinuxOne; updates the x86-64 compiler
back end to generate more efficient code; includes the context package,
promoted from the x/net subrepository and now used in the standard
library; and adds support in the testing package for creating
hierarchies of tests and benchmarks. The release also finalizes
the vendoring support started in Go 1.5, making it a standard feature.

This update incorporates fixes from go 1.6.2 to the compiler, runtime,
tools, documentation, and the mime/multipart, net/http, and sort packages.
