I use GOROOT=$home/go to keep up with tip.  after bootstrapping, rebuild
the standard packages and commands:

% GOBIN=$home/bin/386 $home/go/bin/go install -a std cmd

and

% GOARCH=arm go install -a std cmd

then in my profile:

% test -d $home/go/bin/plan9_^$cputype && bind
-a $home/go/bin/plan9_^$cputype /bin  || bind -a $home/go/bin /bin

unfortunately because the treatment of GOBIN is not symmetrical when
$GOARCH == $cputype  vs  $GOARCH != $cputype,  we can't do:

% for (GOARCH in (386 arm)) {
    echo GOBIN=$home/bin/$GOARCH $home/go/bin/go install -a std cmd
}
