Low priority, but I discovered that GODEBUG=efence=1,cgocheck=2 together are not compatible.

A simple hello world using os/exec fails like:

write of Go pointer 0xc000113c00 to non-Go memory 0x2b36ee9f9a0
fatal error: Go pointer stored into non-Go memory

runtime stack:

@ianlancetaylor said elsewhere:

Looks like with efence=1 stacks are allocated using sysAlloc. That
does not look like a Go pointer to the cgocheck code. The effect is
that when writing a Go pointer to the stack, it looks like writing a
Go pointer to non-Go memory, which cgocheck crashes on.

I don't see a simple fix, other than effectively disabling cgocheck
when using efence. You could open an issue, I guess, but I agree that
it doesn't seem like a big concern.

Another fix is just having the runtime throw early with an error message if those options are used together.
