Those instructions don't actually install go into /sys/lib/go/amd64-1.15.2

They install go into /tmp/go, which is then bound dynamically
onto /sys/lib/go/amd64-1.15.2

This has two consequences:
- every time you run go, you must first ensure that /tmp/go is bound onto
  $GOROOT in the current process environment
- your /tmp had better not be too temporary (some people use ramfs to mount
  /tmp as an in-memory filesystem)

I think it would be safer to install go into the actual /sys/lib tree,
or (eg if you're on a shared system without write permission in /sys/lib),
into your home directory and add the relevant bind command to your
$home/lib/profile

The .go files are in subdirectories. 'du -a $GOROOT/src' should show
at least 4000 of them.

> Would I even have a cache considering i've never successfully built a go project yet?

Installing go by building from source will cache lots of stuff
in $home/lib/cache/go-build.
