Thanks Matt's information!

If so, could you help to contribute your worked patch to oe-core?

I still got all cases failed even with the patch which to make 
https://github.com/golang/dep/blob/master/cmd/dep/dep_test.go 
correspondingly usable for cross-setup.

BTW, I noticed even go doesn't have ptest support.

How about to remove inherits ptest logic in go.bbclass and let the 
inherit ptest logic in each recipe if someone cares about go-dep ptest.
