How to install x/tools/cmd/goyacc?

[Jan Mercl]

I am not able to help with an issue reported (https://github.com/cznic/goyacc/issues/23). I suggested to do

$ go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goyacc

but that does not seem to work. I tried this:

I'm sure I'm missing something, thanks in advance to anyone enlightening me.

go get -u ... works fine on FreeBSD with go-1.8 but "go tool"
shows that yacc is not supported. ktrace/kdump reveals it is
looking for yacc in /usr/local/go/pkg/tool/freebsd_amd64/yacc
I'd suggest changing the Makefile rules for processing goyacc
files.
