Ian Lance Taylor 754f707f5f cmd/link, cmd/go, cmd/dist: use copy of libgcc.a for internal linking
Change the linker to use a copy of the C compiler support library,
libgcc.a, when doing internal linking.  This will be used to satisfy any
undefined symbols referenced by host objects.

Change the dist tool to copy the support library into a new directory
tree under GOROOT/pkg/libgcc.  This ensures that libgcc is available
even when building Go programs on a system that has no C compiler.  The
C compiler is required when building the Go installation in the first
place, but is not required thereafter.

Change the go tool to not link libgcc into cgo objects.

Correct the linker handling of a weak symbol in an ELF input object to
not always create a new symbol, but to use an existing symbol if there
is one; this is necessary on freebsd-amd64, where libgcc contains a weak
definition of compilerrt_abort_impl.

Fixes #9510.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

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 file). 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-source.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 https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
