bug#32949: Go 1.11 keeps references to bootstrap Go, many other packages

Hello Leo,

I have found a possible source of the references.
In the package output, in the pkg/obj/go-build directory there are a huge
amount of
test logs, and the bootstrap go is stat-ed during these tests.
See for example the file pkg/obj/go-build/f7/f749...

I'm not very much into go, but I believe, that these should not be needed.
