Though I cannot find the message now, I recall Russ commenting to
someone that the Go linker is not tooled for C ELF binaries; it is
very Go specific. Having worked on the NetBSD port and had to spelunk
the linker, I believe that to be true. Russ would be the better
authority, though.
The ?c compilers included with Go are derivatives of Inferno's ?c compilers.
