 Hi,

 Installing "go" creates a symbolic link /src/Make.*, instead of a separate
 link for each individual make file.

 116         # gomake command required makefiles

 117         ln -s ${prefix}/src/${name}/${name}-${version}/src/Make.*
 ${destroot}${prefix}/src

 Seems to be related to changes from Ticket #29321

 I can't find an example in other Portfiles that tries to make symlinks
 like this, so I don't have a fix/patch.

 (I changed mine to use xinstall instead of making symbolic links, plus
 other changes to install without root privileges. I think the package
 maintainer might do it a different way instead)

 Thanks
 Caleb
