Compiling and installing Gophernicus

Gophernicus requires a C compiler but no extra libraries aside
from standard LIBC ones. Care has been taken to use only
standard POSIX syscalls so that it should work pretty much on

To compile and install run:

Cross-compiling
===============
## Cross-compiling
Cross-compiling to a different target architecture can be done
by defining HOSTCC and CC to be different compilers. HOSTCC
must point to a local arch compiler, and CC to the target
arch one.
```
$ make HOSTCC=gcc CC=target-arch-gcc
```
