My understanding is that the original C toolchain in Go (only recently removed in 1.5) was based heavily on the Plan 9 compilers.
In fact there was a rather inflammatory blog post[1] whose basic theme was that "Golang is trash" because the toolchain was so simple. One of the main Go developers then responded[2] on HN. Different people value different things I suppose.
