[PATCH 0/3] WIP: Go-lang

[Efraim Flashner]

It seems there's a lot of interest around getting Go packaged in Guix, so I
figured I should post my work so far to the mailinglist. Currently go-1.4
does not have cgo enabled, the go binary keeps on trying to link against
libgcc_s.so.1 (from gcc:lib) and can't find it in the RUNPATH. Also, the
tests are disabled. Nix has a whole slew of changes to the test suite to
remove tests that call out to the internet and to change tests that
call /bin/{hostname,pwd} and others.

Go-1.4 is built using gccgo-4.9, and go-1.5 uses go-1.4 to build, so I'm
pretty confident that go-1.4 works, and since go-1.5 inherits from go-1.4
it should be working too.

I wanted to write the go-build-system before submitting, but everything I
know about go I learned while packaging it, so it doesn't seem fair to have
everyone wait while I prepare a build system that could be missing crucial
features. I still intend to work on the build system; I'm probably just
psyching myself out about it :).

  gnu: gccgo: Update to 4.9.
  gnu: Add go-1.4.
  gnu: Add go-1.5.
