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

}

Skip, where in the FS hierarchy do you install the go distribution?
Also, which additional go packages are in general use on Plan 9
