To be clear, as far as I can see the Go frontend isn't doing anything
wrong or dubious. It just happens to #include <tr1/unordered_map> when
it is available but <unordered_map> is not. It looks like in gcc 4.0
you can not #include <tr1/unordered_map> when using -fno-rtti.
We could work around this by changing gcc/configure.ac to check whether
that #include <tr1/unordered_map> works with -fno-rtti. If that fails,
the Go frontend will next try <ext/hash_map>.
