The UNDEF instruction was listed in the instruction data as having the next instruction in the stream as its successor. This confused the optimizer into adding a load where it wasn't needed, in turn confusing the liveness analysis pass for GC bitmaps into thinking that the variable was live.

Fix three broken tests in test.bash

The test for issue 4568 was confused by go $ACTION . producing a package root of "", avoiding this mode fixes the test but weakens the test.

The test for issue 4773 was broken on linux because math/Rand would fail to resolve as a package causing the test for duplicates to be skipped.

Finally, the last breakage was a small change in the error message.

Also, add test for foldDup.

This CL is in preparation to make cgo work on freebsd/arm.

The signedness of C char might be a problem when we make bare syscall
APIs, Go structures, using built-in bootstrap scripts with cgo because
they do translate C stuff to Go stuff internally. For now almost all
the C compilers assume that the type of char will be unsigned on arm
by default but it makes a different view from amd64, 386.

This CL just passes -fsigned-char, let the type of char be signed,
option which is supported on both gcc and clang to the underlying C
compilers through cgo for avoiding such inconsistency on syscall API.
