support Go 1.26

[chenrui333]

What version of Garble and Go are you using?

• Garble: v0.15.0 (Homebrew formula garble 0.15.0_7)
• Go: go1.26.0

What environment are you running Garble on?

Linux (Homebrew CI / Linuxbrew)

What did you do?

Homebrew test runs:

garble -literals -tiny build hello.go

What did you see happen?

Build fails with:

Go version "go1.26.0" is too new; Go linker patches aren't available for go1.26 or later yet

This is currently causing a regression test failure in Homebrew core PR:

• go 1.26.0, go@1.25 1.25.7 (new formula) Homebrew/homebrew-core#258912
• CI log (failure): https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/actions/runs/21880985907/job/63170336130?pr=258912#step:4:366

What did you expect to see?

Either:

1. Go 1.26 support, or
2. Guidance on expected support timeline / recommended workaround for downstream packagers.

Thanks!

A significant amount of work goes into supporting each new version of Go in garble. Sometimes that is not ready by the time the Go release happens. If this is a problem for your release mechanism, then perhaps you should not aim to version garble alongside Go.

yeah, I feel like we should target garble against go12.5, I will check it out today since homebrew has shipped go1.26

Thank you very much for your hard work. May I ask when support for version 1.26will be available?

Work in progress at #992. It is not ready and there is no ETA as a number of breakages remain. You can sponsor the work if you'd like to help.
