Running "GOPATH=. go build pkg/foo" should be disallowed when $GOPATH is set
to "." as the compile process usually errors out by saying it cannot find a
particular file, even though that file definitely exists.

Granted, running the command like so "GOPATH=$PWD go build pkg/foo" works
successfully, but perhaps the go tool should notice when $GOPATH is set to "."
and error out.

Comment 1:

Maybe it should disallow any relative $GOPATH entry.

Comment 2 by nicksaika:

That would be good; my thinking is if relative paths in $GOPATH cause the compile
process to fail, why not notice the error before-hand, and gracefully error out?
