the go toolchain is replete with go-specific things,
and produces incompatible .8 files (and perhaps for other architectures),
because of the way certain changes were made.

as russ suggested, it's probably easiest just to have a /bin/go
and put go/8c, go/8l etc in that, as they exist. that would obviously work.

he also suggested changing plan9's go/8l to rewrite references to offsets off GS as references
to (say) offsets into the privstack data. you'd need to consider whether
that would cover all cases correctly, although at the time i thought it would.
