We build static binaries: CGO_ENABLED=0 go install -x -installsuffix cgo <pkg>

For some users, we get an error: go install runtime: mkdir /usr/lib/google-golang/pkg/linux_amd64_cgo/: permission denied

As per email with Ian, this can be fixed by making the user run sudo CGO_ENABLED=0 go install -a -installsuffix cgo std, but this is unsatisfying. If go can't install to the global dir, perhaps it should try to install somewhere private to my environment?

I plan to add a -pkgdir flag that will be usable when building alternate configurations, so that the standard library can be rebuilt and saved even if it cannot be installed in the standard place.

That sounds workable, thanks.
