This patch to libgo tweaks the libgo Makefile so that we only rebuild
a package if the .gox file of some imported package changes. We now
use mvifdiff and stamp files to track whether a .gox file has changed.
When package A depends on package B, and we rebuild package B, we only
rebuild package A if package B's .gox file changes. This is safe
because when package A imports package B it only reads package B's
.gox file. This means that changes that do not affect export
information will not cause dependent packages to be recompiled. This
doesn't matter in a clean build, but it speeds up an incremental build
when the export information does not change. Bootstrapped and ran Go
testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.
