I've gotten excited a few times on IRC, but unfortunately every time I
run into weird libgcc_s issues with how go does it's linking (which is
really assembling post link).

Here are my current go-1.4.3 and go-1.5.3 packages:

https://github.com/codemac/guix-pkgs/blob/master/tmp/codemac/packages/go.scm

They still fail if you ever link against anything that dynamically links
against glibc. This means any go program that uses the net, os/user,
runtime or cgo packages fail to execute complaining they can't find
libgcc_s. I've tried just about everything imagineable, and it's unclear
to me how the nix gcc + glibc packages differ from the guix ones.

I'd love help / suggestions, I use golang at my day job so I'm motivated
to get this fixed. I have a pretty good idea of what the go package
system could look like for guix without us distributing PILES of
statically linked go poop as well, but that's a separate discussion.
