What did you see happen?

I ask that a documentation page be made detailing how to add C function calls to the Go compiler. Some might think the simple solution is to use cgo. Unfortunately cgo is not available inside the runtime package. I need this information for Mac OS X, but having documentation for all platforms would be great.

What did you expect to see?

A tutorial on how to add a C function call to the Runtime package or another package. My suggestion would be to use a simple C function like time() or puts().
