5mb still sounds like a lot, considering you could squeeze Linux 1.3 on a 1.44 mb floppy with a (compressed) rootfs... I mean does the runtime really do that much more than a full (although old) os kernel and a C library/runtime and apps?

The entirety of Debian 0.97 (kernel, userspace, packages) fit on two floppies back in 1994 :P

For that I reckon you'd have to file a bug with golang.
