The GCC now offers support for Go so we ought to use the built-in one instead of the set of patches.

I'm getting the following error when compiling for a Cubox-i:

| In file included from .../build/tmp/sysroots/cubox-i/usr/include/features.h:389:0,

I'm pretty sure my image is supposed to be using hard floats.

When I compile any go package I am getting the following warning:

WARNING: QA Issue: : is owned by uid 1000, which is the same as the user running bitbake. This may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated]

Golang 1.5 presents an interesting change to how this layer will work. I plan to make the following changes to handle it.

1. I cannot currently consider the gccgo environment as production ready without more complete testing. There are already lots of oddities that have to be worked around due to stripping. The runtime is also falling behind now that the mainline go runtime is completely written in go. Perhaps this will change in the future. Until then, I will be making gccgo be a secondary class and will default to building with golang directly. You can pick which toolchain to use by which class a recipe inherits from.

2. The golang-cross recipe will require a working go1.4 or greater to be installed on the host computer in order to compile go1.5. I think it is silly to try and build a bootstrapping system into yocto when that requirement is simple enough to meet.
