有多种方法从源代码构建 go，其中的关键是准备自举所需的工具链。

gcc 构建 go1.4 并实现自举

go1.4 是最后一个使用 C 语言实现 go 工具链的版本。

注意事项

如果没有在环境变量中定义 GOPATH，那么 GOPATH 默认为 $HOME/go (src/go/build/build.go/defaultGOPATH)；
如果没有在环境变量中定义 GOROOT，那么 GOROOT 默认为构建时源代码所在的路径 (src/runtime/extern.go/GOROOT)，如果需要修改这个默认值，可以在构建时设置 GOROOT_FINAL 环境变量；
不管构建时 GOROOT_FINAL 是否设置，如果构建后保持目录结构不变，go env GOROOT 得到的是源代码所在路径 (src/cmd/go/internal/cfg/cfg.go/findGOROOT)，因此从官方下载的构建版本无需显式设置 GOROOT。

You don’t need to set GOROOT, really
