The Go bootstrap compiler in Guix currently includes a couple unnecessary workarounds for bugs which have already been fixed. This patch switches to using the bootstrap branch which is still maintained upstream.

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: go@1.4: Update to 1.4-bootstrap-20171003.

* gnu/packages/golang.scm (go-1.4): Use the bootstrap branch that is
still support upstream.
[version]: Update to 1.4-bootstrap-20171003.
[arguments]: Remove fix to timezone test which is now included upstream. Don't
manually disable CGO because it is disabled by default. Manually enable test
suite because future releases will disable tests by default.

Leo, could you take a look at this patch?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for taking care of this!

How did you find this newer tarball? It doesn't appear at
<https://golang.org/dl/> or the Go GitHub page. Can you add a code
comment with a link and send a revised patch?

LGTM.

I think the number of packages that will need to be rebuilt is small
enough that we can push this directly to the master branch, and this
update should not have any effect on the later compiler versions, but
did you check that major Go packages like mongo-tools, restic, and
Syncthing still build?

I didn't realize you sent your patch so long ago... I will test these
things myself. But can you still let me know how you found the newer
tarball?

Hi Leo,

I found the tarball on [this page](https://golang.org/doc/install/source#go14). That's also the page to check for updates.

You can see the changes by looking at release-branch.go1.4 in git (https://github.com/golang/go/tree/release-branch.go1.4).

Thanks,

I don't know if it's worth another commit, but you misspelled "langauge" in your comment.
