Yeah, I don't set $GOROOT, but $GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP in order to compile.

Symlinking might be a good idea for convenience, but can I use my
system-wide $GOPATH to test my src, or do I duplicate that as well.

Thank You

You can build as many different versions of Go as you need by checking the
source out into different locations and running the src/make.bash script.

You should not set GOROOT, building from source will encode the correct
location into the bin/go tool during the process.

To make life simpler for yourself, add a symlink to the various versions of
the go tool you have built, eg.

  ln -s $HOME/go1.6/bin/go $HOME/bin/go1.6
