Commit a037c73 increased the size of cmd/go from 9.7MB to 10.8MB on linux/amd64.

At least some of that size will be caused by 16000 new symbols in the symbol table.

$ go tool nm ../bin/go | grep go.dwarf.info | wc -l
16411

I believe these symbols can be marked as hidden by the linker, I'll give that a try.
