I had to revert the patch in Kinetic because it was causing golang-1.18.2 to fail to compile itself on ppc64el. After some more investigation and help from upstream, I finally have the couple of patches needed to be backported in order to fix this bug fully.

That's why I'm setting this bug as In Progress again.

I did a test rebuild on Jammy, and the current golang-1.18 can build itself on ppc64el just fine:

https://launchpad.net/~sergiodj/+archive/ubuntu/golang-rebuild/+packages

Therefore, I'm:

- Lowering this bug's priority to "Low" on Jammy;

- Removing the server-todo tag;

- Unassigning this bug to myself, as I have other, more urgent things on my plate.

If someone feels like tackling this and backporting the fix to Jammy, feel free to ping if you need a sponsorship.
