I have a non-working package for go. It builds fine, but it currently has
"cgo_enabled" set to 0, so I've been told it doesn't actually work. Its
totally possible I have other variables set wrong, I don't actually do
any programming in go, so I followed the go docs as best I could.

Either toss it in your GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH (and change the header from
(packages golang)) or do `guix package -f golang.scm', which should do
the trick.
