[Bug 1271340] [NEW] please include patch to make gccgo's go/build consistent with go tool

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

Using gccgo 4.8 with the go tool from even go 1.1 results in confusion
because the go tool installs .a files in
$GOPATH/pkg/gccgo_${GOOS}_${GOARCH} but the libgo that comes with gccgo
4.8 expects them to be in just $GOPATH/pkg/gccgo.  So, here is a patch
to gccgo's libgo that looks for them where they end up (and also, is
clearly the saner location).

Cheers,
mwh
