This CL makes it possible to run make.bash with
GOOS and GOARCH set to something other than
the native host GOOS and GOARCH.
As part of the CL, the tool directory moves from bin/tool/
to pkg/tool/goos_goarch where goos and goarch are
the values for the host system (running the build), not
the target. pkg/ is not technically appropriate, but C objects
are there now tool (pkg/obj/) so this puts all the generated
binaries in one place (rm -rf $GOROOT/pkg cleans everything).
Including goos_goarch in the name allows different systems
to share a single $GOROOT on a shared file system.
Fixes#2920.

Also update build to be able to run mkbuiltin again.
The export form has changed a little, so builtin.c has
more diffs than unsafe.go.
In CL 5650069, I just edited the documentation, a rarely
successful method of change.

Same idea as heap profile: how did each thread get created?
Low memory (256 bytes per OS thread), high reward for
programs that suddenly have many threads running.
Fixes#1477.

Commands such as "dist version > VERSION" will cause
the shell to create an empty VERSION file and set dist's
stdout to its fd. dist in turn looks at VERSION and uses
its content if available, which is empty at this point.
Fix that by ignoring VERSION if it's empty.
Also prevent cmdversion from running findgoversion a
second time. It was already loaded by init.

This is the same heuristic that build.ScanDir uses.
It avoids considering 'resource fork' files on OS X;
the resource for x.go is ._x.go.

Flush stdout before writing to stderr, to avoid
reordering output.
Allow amd64 from uname -m (FreeBSD).

goc2c moves here.
parallel builds like old makefiles (-j4).
add clean command.
add banner command.
implement Go version check.
real argument parsing (same as 6g etc)
Windows changes will be a separate CL.

dist is short for distribution. This is the new Go distribution tool.
The plan is to replace the Makefiles with what amounts to
'go tool dist bootstrap', although it cannot be invoked like
that since it is in charge of getting us to the point where we
can build the go command.
It will also add additional commands to replace bash scripts
like test/run (go tool dist testrun), eventually eliminating our
dependence on not just bash but all the Unix tools and all
of cygwin.
This is strong enough to build (cc *.c) and run (a.out bootstrap)
to build not just the C libraries and tools but also the basic
Go packages up to the bootstrap form of the go command
(go_bootstrap). I've run it successfully on both Linux and Windows.
This means that once we've switched to this tool in the build,
we can delete the buildscripts.
This tool is not nearly as nice as the go tool. There are many
special cases that turn into simple if statements or tables in
the code. Please forgive that. C does not enjoy the benefits
that we designed into Go.
I was planning to wait to do this until after Go 1, but the
Windows builders are both broken due to a bug in either
make or bash or both involving the parsing of quoted command
arguments. Make thinks it is invoking
quietgcc -fno-common -I"c:/go/include" -ggdb -O2 -c foo.c
but bash (quietgcc is a bash script) thinks it is being invoked as
quietgcc -fno-common '-Ic:/go/include -ggdb' -O2 -c foo.c
which obviously does not have the desired effect. Rather than fight
these clumsy ports, I accelerated the schedule for the new tool.
We should be completely off cygwin (using just the mingw gcc port,
which is much more standalone) before Go 1.
It is big for a single CL, and for that I apologize. I can cut it into
separate CLs along file boundaries if people would prefer that.
