It might also make it possible to write Node/PHP/Ruby/Python libraries in Go instead of C++. I've been looking at Rust for that use but the ability to compile Go to a C archive throws in back in the running.

I don't think you can compile go to a C archive that runs without the runtime.

  Presumably the necessary parts of the go runtime would be embedded in the C archive (or a DLL'd libgo.a file); how else would you be able to use the C archive in a C application?

    Not sure how this would work, will have to update to 1.5 and see it.

That was one of my first thoughts there as well... I like the idea of writing lower-level node modules in Go over C/C++ myself.
