Hi Niels,

golang 1.9.4 is available in base repo for all arches, like aarch64 and
ppc64le :

 *
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/ppc64le/Packages/golang-1.9.4-1.el7.ppc64le.rpm

 *
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/Packages/golang-1.9.4-1.el7.aarch64.rpm


So do you mean that a gluster build is failing at your side ? if so,
haven't you in the past tagged a specific golang build for your
tags/targets ? if so that would explain why it ignores the base packages
but instead would use the tagged version

Can you verify this ?
