Understand that, but anyway earlier or sooner I will upgrade
dependencies, that are also depend on that updated golang.org/x
libraries with AIX "knowledge" and who knows what other kind of
incompatibilities more.

Actually Go is pretty easy to build. Either you have Go 1.4, or you have
more modern installation and any future version can be built for example
by "cd go/src ; ./all.bash". Also, comparing to something like GCC/LLVM
(which take many hours on my laptop to build), it takes only several
minutes.
