cmd/gc: bad file/line number <epoch>

[bradfitz]

Bad error message.  Both lines are weird.

$ cat x.go
package main

func main() {
        f := func(n int) string {
                for n >= 0 {
                        return "x"
                }
        }
        _ = f
}

$ go build x.go
# command-line-arguments
<epoch>: missing return at end of function

Comment 2:

a marginally simpler case:
% cat x.go
package main
func main() {
    _ = func() error {}
}
% go tool 6g x.go
<epoch>: missing return at end of function
