Indeed, if it's a free-standing runtime environment.  Then it could be
moved and put anywhere.

This logic is backwards.  Go is part of gcc but there is still no
ready-to-use toolchain available for, say, PPC or IA64.   We don't need to
be part of gcc to get toolchains up for platforms.  Just need the people
willing enough to port and support them.
