What? Binaries in share/?

[...] that can be shared among different architectures of the same OS.

@viric, @nbp, Do you have any idea why go has executables in share ?

[wkennington]

That's just the way it packages itself. Every distro has it that way and
it's hard to change.

@wkennington I do not think it has to be that way. For example archlinux has in /usr/lib/go/ the same tree as we have in /nix/store/2zrmd44q1cy7vzbsb2n04lx15kkkld57-go-1.5.3/share/go/.
Their PKGBUILD exports GOROOT_FINAL=/usr/lib/go and GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/usr/lib/go[1] and moves some output dirs around after install. Debian also has most go files in /usr/lib/go/[2], but at the cost of an extensive golang-go.install[3].

I would not say that every distro has it that way. But it seems like the fix requires non-trivial modifications.
