You probably saw the other response already, but I don't think that the
compiler will work with 1.8 as a "host". You'd have to install a 1.9 on
the host, and somehow tell it that it should compile .go files with the
endianness of the target.

I've used it in GStreamer for years now -- not a proof of correctness to
be sure, but it works well enough to hack.
