The go toolchain bootstraps a small kernel of itself from normal gcc and I have yet to encounter any outrageous configuration issues. It should be at least as simple as building C programs that use standard autoconf, if not simpler. I've done some work cross-compiling golang on platforms that are not yet officially supported. I think you'll find the support is really remarkably good.
