<p><code>$GOARM</code> (arm, default=6)</p>
<li><code>$GO386</code> (for <code>386</code> only, default is auto-detected
if built natively, <code>387</code> if not)
<p>
This controls the code generated by 8g to use either the 387 floating-point unit
(set to <code>387</code>) or SSE2 instructions (set to <code>sse2</code>) for
floating point computations.
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>GO386=387</code>: use x87 for floating point operations; should support all x86 chips (Pentium MMX or later).
<li><code>GO386=sse2</code>: use SSE2 for floating point operations; has better performance than 387, but only available on Pentium 4/Opteron/Athlon 64 or later.
</ul>
<li><code>$GOARM</code> (for <code>arm</code> only; default is auto-detected if building
on the target processor, 6 if not)
<p>
This sets the ARM floating point co-processor architecture version the run-time
should target. If you are compiling on the target system, its value will be auto-detected.
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>GOARM=5</code>: use software floating point; when CPU doesn't have VFP co-processor
<li><code>GOARM=6</code>: use VFPv1 only; default if cross compiling; usually ARM11 or better cores (VFPv2 or better is also supported)
<li><code>GOARM=7</code>: use VFPv3; usually Cortex-A cores
</ul>
<p>
The ARM architecture version the run-time libraries should target.
Setting <code>$GOARM</code> to 5 causes the linker to emit calls
to a software floating point implementation instead of using
hardware floating point support.
If in doubt, leave this variable unset, and adjust it if required
when you first run the Go executable.
