I have the current 1.12 release from a Linux distro, installed in /usr/lib/go.

If I patch the linker source, how would I rebuild and reinstall pkg/tool/.../link ?

I think there are two options:

- Learn how to make the distro's package from sources.
- Install Go from sources: https://golang.org/doc/install/source.

Hoping it's easier, as it has a full src directory installed, with src/cmd/link/*

It may depend on just what the Linux distro has done. The basic
command would be "go install cmd/link".
