Packaging gx (for IPFS): Need to update default Go to 1.11?

[Pierre Neidhardt]

Hi Guix!

I'm trying to package gx (a package manager written in Go), but it
requires Go 1.11+ to run properly.

Currently all Go packages are built with the default Go version which is
1.9.

Is there a good reason for sticking to 1.9 or should we update to 1.11?

If we've got to stick to 1.11, how should I proceed to package gx?
I  could define a new build-system like %bootstrap-guile does.  Is there
a convenient to just change the Go version of the "lower" of the
go-build-system?
