I was wondering if we there could be a way to have gccgo based docker build only
for ppc64 and s390x archs, based on relative stability of gccgo over golang for
these platforms?
This might provide a feasible way to get docker into secondary arcs (ppc64,
s390x) without affecting primary arch.
Is this an acceptable approach? thoughts?

docker works on s390x, but sometimes crashes/hangs too(the issue seems to be common to
all platforms, looking in to it)
ppc64(le)/s390x
fedorapeople.org repo(f22):
https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/jcajka/docker-gccgo/
s390x base image):
docker pull jcajka/fedora22-s390x
(generated the same way as ppc images)
