That's my understanding as well, in your first reply you say "Go-1.4 is
built using gccgo-4.9" which is not true, it doesn't use a bootstrap
go. It uses gcc and it's own C compiler (8g/6g for x86/x86_64). go-1.5
then uses go-1.4 to bootstrap, which ideally could use gccgo-5 instead
of go-1.4, but unfortunately runs into the same libgcc_s issues with
glibc linking.
