Well, after a few tries, I am not being able to make this work again.
Did this ever work for gccgo?

First, the symlinking to /usr/lib/go does not work, as that directory
does not exist when using gccgo.

But even if I avoid compiling godoc altogether, I get tons of other
errors when running the tests, about core libraries not being found:

/home/tincho/golang-golang-x-tools-0.0~git20161028.0.b814a3b+ds/obj-mipsel-linux-gnu/src/golang.org/x/tools/go/types/typeutil/imports.go:9:8:
could not import go/types (cannot find package "go/types" in any of:
	/usr/src/go/types (from $GOROOT)

Does anybody understand this?
