… using ‘substitute-keyword-arguments’ here to try to factorize build
phases with go@1.4, though in practice there are subtle differences
preventing the ‘prebuild’ and ‘install’ phases from being factorized.
Would be nice to improve it eventually, somehow.

This is equivalent to:

  (inputs (package-inputs go-1.4))

which is equivalent to putting nothing, since we already ‘inherit’ from
go-1.4.

Ditto.

Committed, thank you!
