People who want to use -buildmode=c-archive in unusual cross-compilation
setups will need something like this. It could also be done via (yet
another) environment variable but I use -extar by analogy with the
existing -extld.

An internal link may need the C compiler support library, libgcc.a. Add
a -libgcc option to set the name of the compiler support library. If
-libgcc is not used, run the compiler to find it. Permit -libgcc=none
to skip using libgcc at all and hope for the best.
Change cmd/dist to not copy libgcc into the distribution. Add tests to
ensure that all the standard packages that use cgo can be linked in
internal mode without using libgcc. This ensures that somebody with a
Go installation without a C compiler can build programs.

The -msan option causes the linker to link against the runtime/msan
package in order to use the C/C++ memory sanitizer.
This CL passes tests but is not usable by itself. The actual
runtime/msan package, and support for -msan in the go tool and the
compiler, and tests, are in separate CLs.

These are the Go 1.4 docs but refreshed for Go 1.5.
The most sigificant change is that all references to the Plan 9 toolchain are gone.
The tools no longer bear any meaningful resemblance.
