Some notes on docs: As far as documentation, I tried to find some documentation on build tags in general and netgo specifically because it seems like this should be documented there, but did not find much. Here are some ideas: - add something to the 'go help build' output about the use of the netgo tag in general and how it would be used to work around the static linking warning/problem against libnss and the workarounds for gc and gccgo - if there is something somewhere else that describes the netgo tag and when to use it, then add something about how to achieve the same effect in gccgo - seems like it would be good to have documentation describing the differences in using gccgo vs. gc and this would be included in that, however that is a bigger work item and would require more thought on what to include in such a document.
