Thanks David, Stanley, I managed to get the cross compile to work using the 9legacy go binaries and the git script.
The workaround for the error I received before is to create a dummy rc script called 'install' and put it into my /bin. The go make.rc script calls it and continues on seemingly fine afterwards.
