Running "go build -o /dev/null" in a main package that lives in GOPATH
produces an error message:
build output "/dev/null" already exists and is not an object file
This issue won't be addressed on the Go side:

Consequently, syntastic leaves this to the user to resolve. Set
g:syntastic_go_go_build_args to something including "-o /some/dir"
to redirect the output of "go build".
(1) Checkers now have an _exec attribute, and an accessor getExec().
(2) CreateAndRegisterChecker() initializes _exec from an optional argument
'exec'. If this argument is missing, 'name' is used instead.
(3) Functions SyntaxCheckers_*_IsAvailable() are now dictionary functions.
(4) Functions SyntaxCheckers_*_IsAvailable() are now optional. When
they are missing, they are assumed to return executable(expand(self.getExec())).
(5) Argument 'exe' of function syntastic#makeprg#build() is now optional.
If this argument is missing, expand(self.getExec()) is used to set checker
executables.
Make SyntaxCheckers_*_GetLocList() dictionary functions.
Pass a reference to the current checker to syntastic#makeprg#build().
Add an optional 'redirect' argument to CreateAndRegisterChecker().
Change the sh checker to use the new dictionary functions.
Add a new registry method getLocListRaw() (needed for the sh checker).
update makeprg builder:
* it now accepts `fname`, `tail`, and `post_args` params.
* add some doc above syntastic#makeprg#build
* update a bunch of checkers to use the new params
Still have quite a few checkers that arent using makeprg#build.
Including all c* and a few other c-like checkers. And PHP.
Not to worried about c* as these checkers are complicated and probably
justify having their own logic to build makeprgs.
Make all the easy updates. There are still quite a few to do, but in
doing these ones I can see that syntastic#makeprg#build() needs to
accept a few more options. Namely:
* "postargs" that appear after the filename
* "tail" that appears after everything - used for things like
redirecting output and piping to grep/sed/etc
* the filename itself - only the java checkers needed this since they
specify the directory of the file to check as well
There are still a few other things to do as well:
* remove the options from the checkers that are now provided by
syntastic#makeprg#build implicitly - i.e. the checker exe and args.
* also, we need to doc the above implicit checker options
