At the very end of the builds for gccgo, there is an error:

  cycle detected in the references of `/gnu/store/*-gccgo-4.8.3-lib'

and that causes the build to fail.

I wonder if this is fallout from when the gcc packages had their libs
split into a different output.  Maybe the "lib" and "out" outputs of
gccgo reference each other, and perhaps this is a problem?

I fixed this by suppressing the separate "lib" output in gccgo, commit
c4df90a594672042ae106730ab5ce07fe85cf46f.  Closing this bug.

Good, probably the most pragmatic approach.  Thanks!
