This is the correct option.

I am a bit fuzzy, but I think that setting the variable when building 
wireguard-go should suffice. The compiler can always emit both. And the 
standard library is recompiled as needed. So if you set GO386 when 
building wireguard *only*, the package should still work on your 586 
machine.
