5.10.9 Go Compiler Characteristics
----------------------------------

Autoconf provides basic support for the Go programming language when
using the ‘gccgo’ compiler (there is currently no support for the ‘6g’
and ‘8g’ compilers).

 -- Macro: AC_PROG_GO ([COMPILER-SEARCH-LIST])
     Find the Go compiler to use.  Check whether the environment
     variable ‘GOC’ is set; if so, then set output variable ‘GOC’ to its
     value.

     Otherwise, if the macro is invoked without an argument, then search
     for a Go compiler named ‘gccgo’.  If it is not found, then as a
     last resort set ‘GOC’ to ‘gccgo’.

     This macro may be invoked with an optional first argument which, if
     specified, must be a blank-separated list of Go compilers to search
     for.

     If output variable ‘GOFLAGS’ was not already set, set it to ‘-g
     -O2’.  If your package does not like this default, ‘GOFLAGS’ may be
     set before ‘AC_PROG_GO’.
