When the packaging of Go was added to Buildroot, I was pointed to
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OaatvGhEAq7VseQ9kkavxKNAfepWy2yhPUBs96FGV28/edit,
which says that using Go 1.4 as the bootstrap compiler to build Go 1.5
was the proper solution.

Now, if it is possible to use a two-stage build of go 1.5, then that's
also fine with me, but it somewhat contradicts the above document.
