Is there a technical limitation or is it just not implemented?
It's because normally `go install` would install to $GOPATH/bin/$GOOS_$GOARCH when cross-compiling. So when GOBIN is set there are two possibilities: install to a subdirectory, and not install to a subdirectory. There are arguments for either. Rather than surprise some people in some cases, the go tool requires you to say exactly what you want using the -o option.
