os.Exit only send 0 or 1 at the exit

[Archos]

os.Exit() only send 2 values of exit; using 0 it sends 0, but for
whatever another number it always sends 1

===
package main

import "os"

func main() {
os.Exit(2)
}
===

It can be checked, after of run that code, with:

echo $?

[Rob 'Commander' Pike]

tubenose=% cat x.go
package main

import "os"

func main() {
os.Exit(2)
}
tubenose=% 6g x.go
tubenose=% 6l x.6
tubenose=% 6.out
tubenose=% echo $?
2
tubenose=%

Be more specific about architecture and operating system. My run was amd64 on darwin.

I tested tip on both Linux and Darwin amd64.  Both fine.

Sorry! it's correct.

I run it from gonow, a program to link and run automatically, so it's
masking the exit of the program to compile.
