That's pretty cool!

If you want something now, I've also written and abandoned this: https://github.com/aykevl/tinygo-gccgo

It actually worked fairly well, but the code was way too bloated to be useful.

Honestly for what I'm doing what you have here is a pretty reasonable start. I'm comfortable writing (and calling into) C where the Go bits aren't in place yet, and I'm a lot more familiar with LLVM's internals than with GCC's if I need to debug something. We'll see what I get up to after brunch.

One request: if you're open to PRs (I can't promise I'll send any, but I'm trying to get into a habit of contributing to OSS with my hobby hackery), can you add a LICENSE file (context: the OSS patching policy I'm bound by is very friendly for projects on Github under most licenses -- https://opensource.google.com/docs/patching/ -- it's more problematic when the license for the code is undefined)?

I'm certainly open to PRs :)

Good catch on the LICENSE file, I totally forgot about it. I've added it now.
