A step toward a fix for issue 4069.
To allow linking with arbitrary host object files, add a linker mode
that can generate a host object file instead of an executable.
Then the host linker can be invoked to generate the final executable.
This CL adds a new -hostobj flag that instructs the linker to write
a host object file instead of an executable.
That is, this works:
go tool 6g x.go
go tool 6l -hostobj -o x.o x.6
ld -e _rt0_amd64_linux x.o
./a.out
as does:
go tool 8g x.go
go tool 8l -hostld ignored -o x.o x.8
ld -m elf_i386 -e _rt0_386_linux x.o
./a.out
Because 5l was never updated to use the standard relocation scheme,
it will take more work to get this working on ARM.
This is a checkpoint of the basic functionality. It does not work
with cgo yet, and cgo is the main reason for the change.
The command-line interface will likely change too.
The gc linker has other information that needs to be returned to
the caller for use when invoking the host linker besides the single
object file.

README
This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.
For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.
After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
