@creack Have you tested `CGO_ENABLED=0 go install -a std`? (it should be equivalent to the `go test` hack)

@tianon Does `CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -a` work instead of installing the recompiled stdlib? It seems like @creack is saying that the downsides are that it is slower for repeated builds and you can't forget to set the env var, not that it doesn't work. But maybe I'm misunderstanding.
