As noted in Efraim's report from the 2019 Guix Days [0], Go (I think Cgo
specifically?) has issues on aarch64.

Certain builds will fail with messages like "unknown architecture
'armv7-a'".

For example, this build of go-github-com-burntsushi-toml [1]:

------
starting phase `check'
go: disabling cache (/homeless-shelter/.cache/go-build) due to initialization 
failure: mkdir /homeless-shelter: permission denied
# runtime/cgo
Assembler messages:
Error: unknown architecture `armv7-a'

Error: unrecognized option -march=armv7-a

------

This is blocking the deployment of applications like Syncthing on
aarch64.

This should now be fixed with 9b03299544e540ad5975abb306c19eb0168aa5e1.
We now build go-1.13.9 on aarch64 targeting aarch64 and not armhf-linux.
