Description
godebug currently invokes `go build` [twice](https://github.com/mailgun/godebug/blob/5c173f56b398bc13fd4175bc828cb1b6bfa9e47e/cmd.go#L192-L196) as a workaround for how the go tool handles GOPATHs with multiple directories. In Go 1.5, [this should be fixed](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/10509).

Research direction
Start in cmd.go around lines 192-196, where godebug invokes go build twice to work around GOPATH handling. Check the Go 1.5 behavior described in issue #10509, then remove the obsolete duplicate build and verify that the command still builds successfully with the supported Go toolchain.
