Thanks for taking care of this!

How did you find this newer tarball? It doesn't appear at
<https://golang.org/dl/> or the Go GitHub page. Can you add a code
comment with a link and send a revised patch?

LGTM.

I think the number of packages that will need to be rebuilt is small
enough that we can push this directly to the master branch, and this
update should not have any effect on the later compiler versions, but
did you check that major Go packages like mongo-tools, restic, and
Syncthing still build?
