CONTENTS:	gccgo compiler base locker
                go-aware gcc, g++ compilers
                various associated utilities

                NOTE: this locker contains only the gccgo compiler.

DESCRIPTION:	Go is a new system programming language from Google that
                incorporates and extends various current computing paradigms

HOW TO RUN:     

setup gccgo

gccgo -O2 -o file file.go (dynamic link, need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
                           environment variable to /mit/gccgo_v4.50/lib or
                           /mit/gccgo_v4.50/lib64 at runtime to find libgo.so)

gccgo -O2 -o file file.go -Wl,-R, \
/afs/athena.mit.edu/software/gccgo_v4.50/lib   (32 bit)
/afs/athena.mit.edu/software/gccgo_v4.50/lib64 (64 bit) (dynamic link, avoids
                                                         need to set 
                                                         LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

gccgo -O2 -static-libgo -o file file.go                    (static link against
                                                             libgo)
