Thank you for working on this!

AFAIK the one entry of go-1.16 is the only package we have which fails
to build with go-1.17 or later.

I believe the only Guix supported systems which aren't supported by go
itself are powerpc-linux (32-bit) and i586-gnu. gccgo has been "stuck"
on go-1.18 compatibility for a number of releases, as seen in gcc.scm,
but don't let that discourage you from choosing a newer version of go as
the default.

If this patch is obsoleted by the changes you're making then feel free
to drop it. I didn't actually have a use-case for this package anyway, I
was just trying to make more packages build.
