[9fans] Fixed golang's build.

[Matthew Veety]

I pulled golang's mercurial tree today to update it, and shit was
broke. For anyone interested I got it building and things that are
important to me working.

yes, i noticed that too. and i found the build process to be
difficult to follow. for example, where is it decided what files
in lib9 are compiled?

$GOROOT/src/cmd/dist/build.c, i believe.

Does anyone know who is working on the ports to Plan 9? I want to get in touch with them.

check golang-dev to see who is submitting patches for Plan 9.

I'm a very small contributor, thanks for including me.

In fact, Minux has been contributing more than I, not to mention
Andrey himself :-)

But I'll be happy to assist, at the same time Veety should get
contributor status, I believe we can use more participants.

How do I get contrib status?
