I just started playing with these patches a few days ago and made a local
change to this patch that made sense to me - I removed the
HOST_GO_BOOTSTRAP_INSTALL_CMDS because I did not see that it was useful
to have the bootstrap compiler installed in the HOST_DIR. This mattered
for me as I build the toolchain and install it system-wide to use for
other builds, which refer to that toolchain as an external one.

I then changed the second patch to use HOST_GO_BOOTSTRAP_BUILDDIR
instead of GO_BOOTSTRAP_FINAL.

Does this make sense to have in buildroot?
