I know there may not be much demand for this these days, but I find myself
in a job working with Solaris daily and I needed to have access to go.
After many hours of searching the internet and many failed attempts I was
finally able to compile gccgo for Solaris 11.3 (11.3.13.4). I'm posting
this here because most things you find on this topic will be discussing
Solaris 10 or older versions of Solaris, I had to tweek and modify to get
things working, so I hope this helps someone else.
1) Start by installing necessary packages from rep
# pkg install gmp
# pkg install mpc
# pkg install mpfr here...
2) Setup some directories
mkdir -p $HOME/src/gccgo
cd $HOME/src/gccgo
3) Get the gccgo source (I've used version 6 of golang here)
svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-6-branch
gccgo-src
4) create a new script (this is where the magic happens) I cannot take all
the credit for this. This whole thing was inspired by THIS

post from this group, but once again it was a few years old and needed
updating. vi build-gcc.sh
#!/bin/sh
dir=$HOME/src/gccgo
srcdir=$dir/gccgo-src
objdir=$dir/gccgo-obj
prefix=$dir/gccgo

export PATH=/usr/gcc/4.8/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin

if [ ! -d $objdir ]; then
mkdir $objdir
fi
cd $objdir
$srcdir/configure --prefix=$prefix "$languages" $options $shared $static
$multilib "$version" && gmake -j$jobs
4) set perms and run script
chmod +x build-gcc.sh
./build-gcc.sh
5) Sit back and watch the fun!
Once the compile has finished you will have a statically linked binary that
you can put where ever you like. WINNING!
