Comment (by dcf):

 Here is a draft patch:
   attachment:0001-Upgrade-go-to-1.6.patch
 The patch is ''untested'' because I'm having trouble building Tor Browser
 right now. I thought I'd drop the patch rather than struggle more with
 Gitian. It illustrates the idea: first you build a go 1.4, then you use it
 to bootstrap a go 1.6.

 Also, the patch ''should not'' be applied right away; that's because a
 security release, 1.6.1, is [https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-
 nuts/MmSbFHLPo8g/yjLiTg7sAQAJ scheduled for two days hence]. There is also
 supposed to be a non-security 1.6.2 release following.
