+From 6576f228339b7931e05a8e861f085f483817806b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Paul Barker <pbarker@toganlabs.com>
+Date: Tue, 8 May 2018 11:01:14 +0000
+Subject: [PATCH] Allow selection of go compiler
+
+By running `make GO=/path/to/go` we can now select the appropriate go compiler
+to use. This also makes it possible to cross compile netns more easily.
