pure-Go implementation does not compiled on many archs. Because Go's "gc"
compiler supports only i386, amd64, ARM and IBM POWER processor architectures
(from Wikipedia) and gccgo, GCC frontend (GCC >= 4.6), does not work everywhere
too because of old architecture or architecture's resctriction.
C implementation working everywhere.
So, what is the purpose?
