First, Go did not have "vastly better versions", Go's compilers came from Inferno and the back-ends were very minimally modified, mainly to fix bugs. The linkers and other lower level details were modified a lot, but they make what you want to do harder, not easier. Second, what you typed will try to link with the Go runtime, which is definitely not what you want. Third, it will not work, at least not without further work, main is not the entry point. Fourth, you don't have a standard library available. Go's compiler were there for building the Go runtime. To use them for anything else, you'd need *a lot* of work, much more work than by starting with the Plan 9/Inferno/Ken-cc directly. -- Aram Hăvărneanu
