+### A Note on Compiling Go 1.5
+Go 1.5+ removed the C compilers from the toolchain and [replaced][compiler_note] them with one written in Go. Obviously, this creates a bootstrapping problem if you don't already have a working Go install. In order to compile Go 1.5+, make sure Go 1.4 is installed first.
+
+```
+gvm install go1.4
+gvm use go1.4
+gvm install go1.5
+```
