Never mind, I figured it out. As long as I export a separate $GOROOT during compile, it works fine. To sum up, I just
1. Downloaded and unpacked the source 2. cd'd into src/. exported $GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP to /usr/local/go (in my case). 3. run ./all.bash. as long as you don't add the bin directory to PATH, it won't mess it up.
