If you had removed all remnants of gccgo and followed these installation instructions
Getting Started https://golang.org/doc/install I would have expected to see something like this: $ go version go version go1.9.2 linux/amd64 $ go env GOARCH="amd64" GOBIN="" GOEXE="" GOHOSTARCH="amd64" GOHOSTOS="linux" GOOS="linux" GOPATH="/home/me/gocode" GORACE="" GOROOT="/usr/local/go" GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64" GCCGO="gccgo" CC="gcc" GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/tmp/go-build872524400=/tmp/go-build -gno-record-gcc-switches" CXX="g++" CGO_ENABLED="1" CGO_CFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_CPPFLAGS="" CGO_CXXFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_FFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_LDFLAGS="-g -O2" PKG_CONFIG="pkg-config" $ and /usr/local/go/bin in your PATH. However, you have this entry GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/gccgo/tool" which is clearly a remnant of gccgo. There may be gccgo remnants elsewhere, like your PATH.
