go.m4 in autoconf-2.69 assumes old os.Open API

[Adam Sampson]

Hi,

In autoconf-2.69/lib/autoconf/go.m4, two of the test Go programs do the
following to open a file for output:

  f, err := os.Open("conftest.out", os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY, 0777)

However, os.Open has changed in recent versions of Go. In Go 1 as
implemented in GCC 4.7, it only takes one argument. Compare:
  http://web.archive.org/web/20100210113321/http://golang.org/pkg/os/#File.Open
  http://web.archive.org/web/20110520214350/http://golang.org/pkg/os/#File.Open

So currently autoconf-2.69's testsuite fails on a machine with GCC 4.7:
the go.at test finds gccgo but can't compile anything with it. It works
if you change both of those calls to do:

  f, err := os.Create("conftest.out")

(e.g. with the attached patch) but that then won't work with older
versions of GCC. I'm not sure what the best fix would be here.

Thanks,
