the point is that if the linuxemu is provisioned properly (gmake, gcc,
bash) to build the Plan 9 $GOBIN from source, then there wont be a
need for a linux build box, or porting and maintaining gmake, gcc,
bash, etc. one could also build Plan 9 binaries under linuxemu.

options as i see them are:

1. a linux build environment for Go which is also a partial dev
environment (i.e. where 8g and 8l will run)
2. port (and maintain) all gnu tools needed to build Go from sources
under Plan 9
3. a linuxemu build environment that is complete enough to compile Go
and serve as Go compilation environment
