Ok so yes I recently installed clang on this archlinux box. The previous go binaries were built with gcc/g++.
So to clarify and save others time: 1)to build using gcc/g++: CC=/usr/bin/gcc CXX=/usr/bin/g++ GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/root/go1.7rc5 ./make.bash 2)to build using clang/clang++: CC=/usr/bin/clang CXX=/usr/bin/clang++ GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/root/go1.7rc5 ./make.bash By explicitly setting those CC and CXX variables, I was able to revert to my original gcc/g++ built golang binaries in order to be consistent since my earlier binaries were built with gcc/g++ I prefer to stay on that path for the moment.
