The Go programming language

That is, move the pc/ln table and the symbol table into the read-only data segment. This eliminates the need for a special load command to map the symbol table into memory, which makes the information available on systems that couldn't handle the magic load to 0x99000000, like NaCl and ARM QEMU and Linux without config_highmem=y. It also eliminates an #ifdef and some clumsy code to find the symbol table on Windows. The bad news is that the binary appears to be bigger than it used to be. This is not actually the case, though: the same amount of data is being mapped into memory as before, and the tables are still read-only, so they're still shared across multiple instances of the binary as they were before. The difference is just that the tables aren't squirreled away in some section that "size" doesn't know to look at. This is a checkpoint. It probably breaks Windows and breaks NaCl more than it used to be broken, but those will be fixed. The logic involving -s needs to be revisited too. Fixes #871.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
