hmm janky got a new font, but still hates me

For reference this was added because Go uses it on i386 binaries see #19218 #19201

However it has recently been removed from Go in golang/go@0f86d1e with a note that it is not available on some newer kernels, and has to be explicitly made available on others, and replaced by the modern set_thread_area. Issue is golang/go#14795. It does not seem this commit is in a release yet though.

There is also an unconfirmed suggestion that Wine uses it (allegedly even for 64 bit code) https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/21/759 would like to confirm if this the case because we have a lot of Steam users it seems based on other issues.

So a bit unsure, would like to block it, but I would be happier if there was a Go release that worked, as no 32 bit Go programs will run at all, and people do use 32 bit mode a bit.

Ah I have a wine container I can test, and that's super interesting about
go

I think we can hold off for now, but just for future reference I will try some things, I have a steam container as well ;)

I'm going to close as it's not realistic at this point in time, but will give updates on this thread after further testing so we have it for the future :)

cool, it would be good to work out when we can reasonably remove it.
