Sorry, I was unclear.

I don't know anything about bootstraping the compiler with anything other
than go 1.4 - as far as my limited understanding goes, that is still necessary.

What I meant was that it should not be necessary to backport the patch
as you suggested, but instead compile the bootstrap compiler with
CGO_ENABLED=0 in the environment. That worked for me when I
saw the same problem building the bootstrap compiler (but the problem
was not consistent and no one else seemed to have it, so I just assumed
there was an issue in my build environment - so I never posted this
fix).
