I consider the fix itself trivial thus I'm perfectly fine with not being
attributed at all. Apologies for making it hard to track me down.
I've added one of emails to github's front page.

[ While the fix is trivial debugging was a bit more fun :) ]

If you still like to add attribution (or have other reasons) feel free
to add "Sergei Trofimovich <address@hidden>"

I didn't get to submitting something that works because some unrelated
go-1.8.0 tests failed for me.

go-1.8.1 fails in a similar way, but if it works for you
it's very probable just my environment (x86_64-linux):

guix-master $ ./pre-inst-env guix build go-1.8

  ##### ../misc/cgo/test
  runtime/cgo: pthread_create failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

  SIGABRT: abort

Thanks for finishing go update!
