How difficult is it to compile the Go programming language?

Basically what the title says: what's the process for compiling your average go* file? drop it on a compiler and execute the result?

*note: The OP edited the question replacing "go" with "C", before it was rolled back. So some of the answers won't make sense.

• Did you take a look at the Go tutorial at http://golang.org/doc/go_tutorial.html

      Here's how to compile and run our program. With 6g, say,
  
          $ 6g helloworld.go  # compile; object goes into helloworld.6
          $ 6l helloworld.6   # link; output goes into 6.out
          $ 6.out
          Hello, world; or Καλημέρα κόσμε; or こんにちは 世界
          $
  
      With gccgo it looks a little more traditional.
  
          $ gccgo helloworld.go
          $ a.out
          Hello, world; or Καλημέρα κόσμε; or こんにちは 世界
