gocov is broken on Debian about gocov HOT 5 CLOSED

Also:

<AlekSi> axw: later: failed to symlink gocov: mkdir /tmp/gocov602025422/src/pkg/github.com: permission denied

from gocov.

It's broken on Mac too: failed to create $GOROOT/include: lstat /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.0.3/include: no such file or directory.

Thanks for the update. Looks like gocov should be able to get away with just src and pkg, since only runtime needs the headers, and runtime cannot be instrumented anyway (and bin was never required).

For the later "permission denied" error: this is because symlinkHierarchy isn't following symlinks properly. I have a fix waiting on my home laptop, will push when I'm back on the 'net.

@AlekSi I tested this by creating my own GOROOT where src was a symlinked dir, and pkg a real dir (like in Debian's golang-go package) - worked fine after the patch. Please let me know if you still have any issues with this.

It works, thank you!
