The go-cross package is explicitly for compiling target libraries on

A typical error looks like this when building consul-migrate:

/opt/build-intel-x86/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/x86_64-linux/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/link:

The fix is to use the make.bash --target-only option to properly build
the libraries with the target toolchain.  The "go" binaries are thrown
away but the cross compilation libraries are preserved.  The sysroot
strip also has to be disabled because it will run the host strip on
the target binaries.

The v2 patch was further tested against additional failure cases that were 
revealed by the v1 patch.   The v1 patch had the problem that the target binary 
was later run on the host and it could fail to load its shared libraries.   
This time around the binaries are separated from the cross compilation 
libraries.

It is worth noting that when using a x86_64 host and a ARM target architecture 
a new build will fail due to sysroot contamination checks because go-cross is 
actually properly populating the sysroot now.  A clean build is the right 
answer if you hit the error or manually fixing each error instance by removing 
the offending files.

Cheers,
Jason.
