I personally would make a go 2.x release buildable with last Go 1.? and go 3.x buildable with last go GO 2.?

At some point it would make more sense to just go with a binary bootstrap option. Nobody expects you to compile gcc out of thin air. You'll have to cross-compile it, and Go does a great job of that already.
