This is looking pretty good now.  I built go & go-helloworld easily
with no warnings, etc.  'go-helloworld' runs fine on my target.

However, there don't seem to be any packages for the target created
by the 'go' recipe:

$ ls tmp/work/cortexa9hf-neon-amltd-linux-gnueabi/go/1.8-r0
armhf-elf-header.patch         go               pseudo                             syslog.patch
build-tmp                      gotooldir.patch  recipe-sysroot                     sysroot-destdir
fix-cc-handling.patch          image            recipe-sysroot-native              temp
fix-target-cc-for-build.patch  license-destdir  split-host-and-target-build.patch

I manually copied the 'image' directory (which obviously has a lot
of stuff not designed to be on my target board) to my target and
'go' seems to run there.

There is a need for RRECOMMENDS = "git-perltools" once this packaging is set:

~# go get golang.org/x/tour/gotour
go: missing Git command. See https://golang.org/s/gogetcmd
package golang.org/x/tour/gotour: exec: "git": executable file not found in $PATH

I ran through the tour (above) and things seemed to go well.

All in all, looking better.
