I'd like gccgo to pass reliably, but I think it falls under a CI test
rather than a pre-commit test. (Because otherwise it roughly doubles the
time it takes to know whether your patch will land.)

I don't have specific feedback on the behavior differences, but the changes
seem sane to me. An errors library is certainly something that I'd like to
see shared between code bases.
