Rob Pike 3dcfb72fa3 cmd/go: mention go tool compile etc. in the help text for build
Not everyone is aware that go build is a wrapper for other
tools. Mention this in the text for go help build so people using
other build systems won't just wrap go build, which is usually a
mistake (it doesn't do incremental builds by default, for instance).

Update #11854.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
