Even with this option, bootstrap with golang can still works.
And I tried to unset GO386 for mips64el, the same problem still happens.

I guess it is a bug of gccgo for mips64el.
So, for now, I think that you can add mips64 and mips64el into
architecture list,
and I can build golang-1.7 with manually bootstrapped golang.
