Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/issues/100

I have a PowerPC computer, and Go doesn't natively support my platform. However, gccgo does. Is there any way to compile this with gccgo, or if not, any plans to support this? I know that most people have the native Go compiler available, so this wouldn't be useful to most people.

Just messing around, I've gotten this:

gccgo github.com/asciinema/asciinema/main.go -o bin/asciinema

Unfortunately I have zero experience with gccgo. I'm afraid I won't be able to help with this at the moment. But feel free to post the status of your messing around here. It may be worth to putting the instructions for compiling on PowerPC on wiki.

I unfortunately no longer have the same environment on my PowerPC computer, so I can no longer mess around with this.
