I agree. It would make more sense to build this to a specific version
or git revision rather
than a time. Perhaps that would be a different patch?

A dynamic lookup of the go version would look for go 1.0, 1.1, 1.2,
1.3, 1.4 and 1.5.0.
These versions would be incompatible with the `X var=val` syntax. I am
not too familiar
with Makefile syntax for numerical comparison, but I believe this
would be fairly simple.
Would you like me to whip up a patch for it?
